SNMP Reference Guide

Understanding Trap Severity
Traps often contain information about values recorded by probes or sensors. Probes and sensors monitor
critical components for values such as amperage, voltage, and temperature. When an event occurs on
your system, the Server Administrator sends information about one of the following event types to the
system management console:
• Information/Informational—An event that describes the successful operation of a unit, such as a
power supply turning on or a sensor reading returning to normal.
• Warning — An event that is not necessarily significant, but may indicate a possible future problem,
such as crossing a warning threshold.
• Critical/Error — A significant event that indicates actual or imminent loss of data or loss of function,
such as crossing a failure threshold or a hardware failure.
RAC Traps
This section describes the traps that are generated by the SNMP agent of the Remote Access Controller
(RAC). All of the enterprise-specific traps documented in this section belong to the MIB enterprise
identified by OID 1.3.6.1.4.1.674.10892.2 and are sent with all of the trap variables documented in the
section Traps . The trap variables are sent in the order in which they are listed.
NOTE: The PowerEdge M1000e CMC and PowerEdge VRTX CMC do not generate the traps in this
section. They generate the traps documented in the CMC Traps.
