CIM_SNMPTrapIndication Superclass: CIM_ProcessIndication
A concrete class for mapping an SNMP Trap to CIM based on the IETF RFC 1157. The usefulness of this class is to describe common trap semantics. But, a complete understanding of any trap data received relies on the Indicaton recipient having access to the sender's MIB. Understanding can be improved by mapping the SNMP domain to CIM, and using CIM LifeCycle and standard subclasses of CIM_ProcessIndication.

Parameters (local in grey)
MappingStrings { "PDU.IETF|RFC1157-TRAP-PDU.agent-addr" }
string AgentAddress ;
Address of the object generating the trap.
Values { "Cold Start" , "Warm Start" , "Link Down" , "Link Up" , "Authentication Failure" , "EGP Neighbor Loss" , "Enterprise Specific" }
ValueMap { "0" , "1" , "2" , "3" , "4" , "5" , "6" }
MappingStrings { "PDU.IETF|RFC1157-TRAP-PDU.generic-trap" }
uint16 GenericTrap ;
An enumerated value that describes the generic trap type:
- The coldStart(0) trap signifies that the sending protocol entity is reinitializing itself such that the agent's configuration or the protocol entity implementation may be altered.
- The warmStart(1) trap signifies that the sending protocol entity is reinitializing itself such that neither the agent configuration nor the protocol entity implementation is altered.
- The linkDown(2) trap signifies that the sending protocol recognizes a failure in one of the communication links represented in the agent's configuration. The Trap-PDU of type linkDown contains as the first element of its variable-bindings the name and value of the ifIndex instance for the affected interface.
- The linkUp(3) trap signifies that the sending protocol entity recognizes that one of the communication links represented in the agent's configuration has come up. The Trap-PDU of type linkUp contains as the first element of its variable-bindings, the name and value of the ifIndex instance for the affected interface.
- An authenticationFailure(4) trap signifies that the sending protocol entity is the adressee of a protocol message that was not properly authenticated. While implementations of SNMP must be capable of generating this trap, they must also be capable of suppressing the emission of such traps via an implementation- specific mechanism.
- An egpNeighborLoss(5) trap signifies that an EGP neighbor for whom the sending protocol entity was an EGP peer has been marked as down and the peer relationship no longer pertains. The Trap-PDU of type egpNeighborLoss contains as the first element of its variable-bindings, the name and value of the egpNeighAddr instance for the affected neighbor.
- An enterpriseSpecific(6) trap signifies that the sending protocol entity recognizes that some enterprise-specific event has occurred. The specific-trap field identifies the particular trap which occurred.
MappingStrings { "PDU.IETF|RFC1157-TRAP-PDU.specific-trap" }
uint32 SpecificTrap ;
Specific trap code.

MappingStrings { "PDU.IETF|RFC1157-TRAP-PDU.variable-bindings" }
ArrayType ( "Indexed" )
string VarBindNames [ ] ;
Object naming information (an OID) from the 'variable binding' portion of the Trap. This array is correlated with the VarBindSyntaxes and VarBindValues arrays. Each entry is related to the entries in the other arrays, that are located at the same index. In this way, the variable binding's name/syntax/value tuple can be constructed.

MappingStrings { "PDU.IETF|RFC1157-TRAP-PDU.variable-bindings" }
ArrayType ( "Indexed" )
uint16 VarBindSyntaxes [ ] ;
Object syntax information (defined as an enumerated value) from the 'variable binding' portion of the Trap. This array is correlated with the VarBindNames and VarBindValues arrays. Each entry is related to the entries in the other arrays, that are located at the same index. In this way, the variable binding's name/syntax/value tuple can be constructed.
MappingStrings { "PDU.IETF|RFC1157-TRAP-PDU.time-stamp" }
datetime TimeStamp ;
Time elapsed between the last (re)intialization of the managed entity and the generation of the trap.
MappingStrings { "PDU.IETF|RFC1157-TRAP-PDU.enterprise" }
string Enterprise ;
Type of object generating the trap.
OctetString

MappingStrings { "PDU.IETF|RFC1157-TRAP-PDU.variable-bindings" }
ArrayType ( "Indexed" )
string VarBindValues [ ] ;
An OctetString representing object value information from the 'variable binding' portion of the Trap. This array is correlated with the VarBindNames and VarBindSyntaxes arrays. Each entry is related to the entries in the other arrays, that are located at the same index. In this way, the variable binding's name/syntax/value tuple can be constructed.
Values { "Unknown" , "Other" , "Information" , "Degraded/Warning" , "Minor" , "Major" , "Critical" , "Fatal/NonRecoverable" }
ValueMap { "0" , "1" , "2" , "3" , "4" , "5" , "6" , "7" }
MappingStrings { "Recommendation.ITU|X733.Perceived severity" }
uint16 PerceivedSeverity ;
An enumerated value that describes the severity of the Indication from the notifier's point of view:
1 - Other, by CIM convention, is used to indicate that the Severity's value can be found in the OtherSeverity property.
3 - Degraded/Warning should be used when its appropriate to let the user decide if action is needed.
4 - Minor should be used to indicate action is needed, but the situation is not serious at this time.
5 - Major should be used to indicate action is needed NOW.
6 - Critical should be used to indicate action is needed NOW and the scope is broad (perhaps an imminent outage to a critical resource will result).
7 - Fatal/NonRecoverable should be used to indicate an error occurred, but it's too late to take remedial action.
2 and 0 - Information and Unknown (respectively) follow common usage. Literally, the Indication is purely informational or its severity is simply unknown.
datetime IndicationTime ;
The time and date of creation of the Indication. The property may be set to NULL if the entity creating the Indication is not capable of determining this information. Note that IndicationTime may be the same for two Indications that are generated in rapid succession.
MappingStrings { "Recommendation.ITU|X733.Notification " "identifier" }
string IndicationIdentifier ;
An identifier for the Indication. This property is similar to a key value in that it can be used for identification, when correlating Indications (see the CorrelatedIndications array). Its value SHOULD be unique as long as Alert correlations are reported, but MAY be reused or left NULL if no future Indications will reference it in their CorrelatedIndications array.
ModelCorrespondence { "CIM_AlertIndication.PerceivedSeverity" }
string OtherSeverity ;
Holds the value of the user defined severity value when 'PerceivedSeverity' is 1 ('Other').
MappingStrings { "Recommendation.ITU|X733.Correlated " "notifications" }
string CorrelatedIndications [ ] ;
A list of IndicationIdentifiers whose notifications are correlated with (related to) this one.
