Hi,

The answer is unfortunately nowhere.
The fiber channel management traps are useless, I used to configure MLM to check the active ports and issue specific traps when needed, and of course to block all incoming fcmgmt traps.
This can also be done through a script or in Netview.

Hope this helps,

Best regards

Can any one tell me how I get the port number from this entry.
 
The mib definition is
 
    connUnitPortStatusChange TRAP-TYPE
       ENTERPRISE fcmgmt
       VARIABLES { connUnitPortStatus, connUnitPortState }
       DESCRIPTION
           "The overall status of the connectivity unit has changed.
           Recommended severity level (for filtering): alert"
       ::= 6

 
 
The information in trapd.log looks like this
 
1190203118 7  Wed Sep 19 12:58:38 2007 192.168.208.242           A fcmgmt 6 6 3 args:  [1] 16.0.0.96.105.128.109.226.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.21 (Integer): 9
1190203118 7  Wed Sep 19 12:58:38 2007  192.168.208.242           A  [2] 16.0.0.96.105.128.109.226.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.21 (Integer): 3
1190203118 7  Wed Sep 19 12:58:38 2007  192.168.208.242           A  [3] 16.0.0.96.105.128.109.226.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.21 (OctetString):

 
The traps seems to pass on 3 bits of information relating to port status (9), port state (3) and a blank entry. However, the information in each line contains the port number 21 at the end of the string of numbers. If there any way I can pick up this information to forward to tec. I'm not sure what this information is 16.0.0.96.105.128.109.226.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.21 or how I can pick bits out of it.
 
It would be very useful.
 
Thanks
 
Jane
