I am getting SNMP traps from our Cisco Cerent ONS 15454 . See below

Any idea why we are getting the alarms??

this object is an entry in a specific

Your second posting notes the condition that is being reported as "logout of User". according to the Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM Reference Manual, Release 9.0

Appendix B, Administrative and Service States (see http://www.cisco.com/en/US/partner/docs/optical/15000r9_0/dwdm/reference/guide/454d90_adminstates.html), that condition is noted as follows:

3.3.5 ADMIN-LOGOUT

The Admin Logout of User (ADMIN-LOGOUT) condition occurs when the administrator logs off a user session.

This transient condition does not result in a standing condition.

So, that's what's being reported to your network management station. It is a transient condition and not generally useful except in auditing situations. You should be able to suppress or filter it from being displayed without affecting operations or management of your system.

Hope this helps. Please rate this post if it does.

Marvin,

thanks from your reply. I am more interested in the first posting. I need to work out what the sting MIB sting "Enterprise: .1.3.6.1.4.1.3607.6.10.30" means. so far i have worked out, the traps above is relating to a port number on one of the slot on the ONS but the traps doesnt provide enough information as to what the problem is with the port..

I have looked at the CERENT-454-MIB, but dont have enough information to know the root of the problem.

Please help.

Francisco.

Francisco,

I hope this helps you…

I think your first reply and mklemovitch's reply describe the trap.

I believe the root cause is a user has logged off the chassis. That happens every time someone disconnects CTC (Cisco Transport Controller) and possibly other management tools you may be using. I see these daily and analyzed it a long time ago. :-)

Also, Object ID .1.3.6.1.4.1.3607.6.10.30 is type “Object Identity” with name…

“.iso.org.dod.internet.private.enterprises.cerent.cerentProducts.cerent454Mib.cerent454Events”

And the description is “Place holder for all notifications of Cisco ONS 15454”. It is a partial object.

I believe the full object is .1.3.6.1.4.1.3607.6.10.30.0.5120 “.iso.org.dod.internet.private.enterprises.cerent.cerentProducts.cerent454Mib.cerent454Events.cerent454V2Events.logoutOfUser”.

It is just indicating that a user has logged out. It looks to me like most Cerent traps include a number of variable bindings whether they are useful to you or not. The following 3 variables show that it is not an issue with a port but relates to the “SYSTEM”.

[5]… cerent454AlarmSlotNumber.1.5120 (Integer): 0

[6]… cerent454AlarmPortNumber.1.5120 (Integer): unknown

[8]… cerent454AlarmObjectName.1.5120 (OctetString): SYSTEM

… with .0.5120 appended to likely reference the parent trap ID but I'm assuming that.

thanks guys...
