MIB Notification Form

[This is the context-sensitive help for the  Loaded MIBs: MIB Notifications form = alias = mibNotificationFormHelp.]

The MIB Notification form enables you to view the SNMP trap information, if any, that is defined by the selected MIB. For example, the IF-MIB's linkDown, includes notification values as shown in the following example:

linkDown NOTIFICATION-TYPE
OBJECTS { ifIndex, ifAdminStatus, ifOperStatus }
STATUS current
DESCRIPTION
"A linkDown trap signifies that the SNMP entity, acting in
an agent role, has detected that the ifOperStatus object for
one of its communication links is about to enter the down
state from some other state (but not from the notPresent
state). This other state is indicated by the included value
of ifOperStatus."
::= { snmpTraps 3 }
