Appendix A.4. Controlling how a MIB file reports traps
The connection parameter ‘Do_not_MIB_this_Node’ controls whether a Node’s traps contribute to the
MIB file. This parameter is useful where duplicate traps are being sent to more than one destination.
Some aspects of how traps are reported in the MIB file may be controlled with a Node parameter
called ‘MIB_Style_for_Traps’
Adapters
Adapter, Protocol, Poll_Delay, MIB_Style_for_Traps
N1, SNMP, 0.1s, Style1
Permitted Values for the parameter are:
Style1 (Default)
Style2
Style3
Style2 and 3 add information to the trap description on the trap origin.
Style3 defines the parameters contained in each trap and assigns these parameters hard coded
OID’s which are fixed for all traps. In Style 1 and 2, the parameters are not reported in the MIB file
and the parameter OID’s are based on the trap OID. Thus style 3 changes the structure and data of
the MIB from Style1&2.
