Endurance VFT MIB and SNMP Implementation A-9
SNMP Traps
The Endurance FTvirtual Server SNMP extension agent monitors the state of the entire
FTvirtual Server and generates SNMP traps (notification events) when changes occur in the
states of the FTvirtual Server or the server components. Changes are noted for the Endurance
FTvirtual Server components listed previously in the section Manageable Objects.
The general format for trap variables includes:
• System information variables
• Device-specific variables
• Device state variables
The system information and device state variables are the same in every trap. Variables specific
to devices differ, based on the device to which they apply.
SNMP trap names include the component name and the severity level of the notification event,
depending on the nature of the transition that occurred. Table A-4 lists and describes the
severity levels appended to the end of all Endurance SNMP trap names.
