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 OSPF traps and associated MIB objects to enable or disable.

The no form disables the specified trap.

Default: All OSPF traps disabled

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

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.

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