Changing OSPF trap generation choices

Optional: OSPF traps (defined by RFC 1850) are supported on the routing switches. OSPF trap generation is disabled by default, but you can use the following command to enable generation of any or all of the supported OSPF traps.

Syntax:


[no] trap [trap-name | all]

Used in the OSPF configuration context to enable or disable OSPF traps.

all: Enables or disables all OSPF traps available on the routing switch.
trap-name: Specifies a trap from table below to enable or disable.

The no form disables the specified trap.

Default: All OSPF traps disabled

The table below summarizes OSPF traps supported on the switches, and their associated MIB objects from RFC 1850.

OSPF traps and associated MIB objects
OSPF trap name	MIB object
`interface-authentication-failure`	`ospflfAuthFailure`
`interface-config-error`	`ospflfConfigError`
`interface-receive-bad-packet`	`ospflfrxBadPacket`
`interface-retransmit-packet`	`ospfTxRetransmit`
`interface-state-change`	-
`neighbor-state-change`	`ospfNbrStateChange`
`originate-lsa`	`ospfOriginateLsa`
`originate-maxage-lsa`	`ospfMaxAgeLsa`
`virtual-interface-authentication-failure`	-
`virtual-interface-config-error`	`ospfVirtlfConfigError`
`virtual-interface-state-change`	`ospfVirtlfStateChange`
`virtual-neighbor-state-change`	`ospfVirtNbrStateChange`
`virtual-interface-receive-bad-packet`	`ospfVirtlfRxBad Packet`
`virtual-interface-retransmit-packet`	`ospfVirtlfTxRetransmit`

Example

Enabling OSPF traps

If you wanted to monitor the neighbor-state-change and interface-receive-bad-packet traps, you would use the following commands to configure the routing switch to enable the desired trap. The show command verifies the resulting OSPF trap configuration.

switch(ospf)# trap neighbor-state-change
switch(ospf)# trap interface-receive-bad-packet
switch(ospf)# show ip ospf traps
