G700 Traps

Alarm Format

G700 Media Gateways (serving either as standalone port networks, or as port networks within an IP or a Multi-Connect system) report alarms to the primary server (either an S8300 or S8700 Media Server) using SNMP traps. Like the primary server's own alarms, alarms from a G700 Media Gateway:

• Reside in the primary server's alarm log
• Can be viewed using the SAT command display alarms
• Can be viewed using the Web Interface Display Alarms option

However, the format of these displayed alarms is slightly different. Using the G700 MO's Event�ID�#1 (the first entry in Table 5) as an example, a displayed G700 alarm has the following format:

n CMG 1 WRN 07/17/2002:13:45 121.1.1.2:cmgMultipleFanFault

Within the previous alarm-display string, the value:

• "n" is a sequential alarm ID.
• "CMG" identifies a G700 Media Gateway as the MO.
• "1" is the event's ID (1st column of Table 5).

This table also contains each alarm's corresponding SNMP trap # in the 2nd column of Table 5. However, many of the MIB-defined traps have been excluded, either because:

• A specific trap (such as, Trap #3) is the SNMP mechanism to clear an alarm logged by another specific trap (in this case, Trap #2).
• The specific event indicated by a trap is not severe enough to justify an entry in the primary server's alarm log.
• A trap is defined, but not implemented.
• A trap # is reserved for future use.
• "WRN" is the event's severity (3rd column of Table 5).
• "07/17/2002:13:45"is the event's date and time stamp.
• "121.1.1.2"is the IP address for Telnet access to the alarmed G700 Media Gateway Processor (MGP).
• "cmgMultipleFanFault" is an alarm description (4th column of Table 5).
