Understanding Paradyne Formats Used in the Event Browser Dialog
The Message column of the OpenView (or NetView) Event Browser dialog
displays a consistent format for SNMP traps for all Paradyne devices, with one
exception (described later). The Message column displays from 2 to 4 fields of
information separated by a colon (:).
The format is as follows:
Paradyne:
Event Type
Paradyne:
Event Type: Device Type
Paradyne
: Event Type: Device Type: Device-Specific Information
Using the above formats, a series of events could appear as follows:
Paradyne: Entity Configuration Change
Paradyne: Authentication Failure: 9124
Paradyne: Test Start: 9124: Interface 10, 1, 3, 32, 1
The fields are defined as follows:
H
Paradyne
indicates that the trap originates from a Paradyne device.
H
Event Type
specifies the kind of trap that the device generated.
H
Device Type
indicates the model of the Paradyne device that generated the
trap. If the model has a value of MCC, this refers to the 8000 Management
Control Card (MCC) of a DSLAM Model 8600, 8800, or 8810.
H
Device-Specific Information
provides-additional information on the
parameters associated with the trap. Typically, the first parameter displays
the interface index, which is a decimal number of the form SSIII, where SS
represents the slot number in a chassis (if applicable) and III represents the
affected interface.
See the SNMP trap section of the devices’ User Manual for more information
on parameters.
To keep the Message column readable, the number of parameters displayed
is limited. If the number of parameters is less than the limit, the following
information, which is informational only, is returned in the
Device-Specific
Information
field.
— For HP OpenView:
(UNAVAILABLE EVENT PARAMETER $6)
— For NetView:
FMT ERROR: accessing element #6, only 5 available
If an incorrect entity MIB trap OID is detected, the Message column can contain
an additional field as stated earlier. This is indicated by the following entry:
Paradyne: Incorrect Entity MIB Trap OID: Device–Specific
Information
