Catalyst 6500 snmp linkup/linkdown trap not sent

theo.wiersma · ‎02-04-2009

Hi all,

I configured my catalyst 6500 switch to send snmp V1 traps. The switch is sending all other traps, e.g. OSPF related traps, but it is not sending the Linkstatus traps (linkup/linkdown). Does anyone have a suggestion how to fix this problem?

I included the relevant part of the config and the debug information

Regards,

1) Cat6500.log

The link isn't actual transitioning state. the linkDown trap tracks ifOperStatus, not ifAdminStatus. If you want an accurate test, you will need to shutdown an interface which is up.

I did the same test on a Catalyst 3560 and this platform was sending the trap messages. Tomorrow I will test it with a live port.

Thanks for the reply and I will let you know the results tomorrow!

I tested on a live interface and also added

SWBB0103(config)# snmp-server host 10.1.3.12 public chassis ospf hsrp bridge vtp vlancreate vlandelete envmon snmp config

so a trap is sent, when the config is changed, see the example below

SWBB0103#conf t

Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.

The Catalyst 6509 didn't a trap when the interface went up and down.

Any other hints or tips?

I can't reproduce this. Can you post the entire config from this switch?

theo.wiersma · ‎02-05-2009

Hi Joe,

I'd rather not publish the complete configuration of our live switch to the forum. Can I send it to you by a (private) E-mail?

Regards,

Theo

Joe Clarke · ‎02-05-2009

If you can't post it hear, please open a TAC service request with this information.

theo.wiersma · ‎02-05-2009

Hi Joe,

Here's the config, I removed the passwords and other irrelevant settings.

I hope you are able to reproduce the problem!

Regards,

Theo

Joe Clarke · ‎02-05-2009

I still cannot reproduce. The config looks okay, and I can't find any relevant bugs. You should probably open a TAC service request so more analysis can be done.

theo.wiersma · ‎02-05-2009

Hi Joe,

Thanks for the support.

I will open a TAC case to solve this issue.

Regards,

Theo
