SNMP trap for IP SLA

[Mokhalil82]

Hi

I have a core switch with a single outgoing link upto my firewalls. I have a backup site so if that primary outgoing link fails, my traffic is routed to my backup site and that also has an external link.

I am using IPSLA for this failover so on my core switch it pings my ISP router and is tracking the default route, if the pings fail (meaning the primary link goes down, the default route drops and it starts using my secondary route to the backup site.

Config 

IP sla 100
icmp-echo x.x.x.x
threshold 10
timeout 1000
frequency 3

ip sla schedule 101 start-time now life forever

track 1 ip sla 101 reachability

How can i configure a trap so that when the IPSLA changes state, I want to be notified by my monitoring server?

Thanks

Hi,

The following configuration is functional on a 6500...

snmp-server enable traps ipsla
snmp-server host x.x.x.x version 2c community ipsla

...ofcourse you also need to connfigure the snmp server to receive the trap and then alert based on it....
