How do I configure SNMP Trap Event Triggers on an SLM?  Do I need to specify the full OID for every trap I want to use as a trigger?

This answer applies to SLM firmware v2.0 and higher.

On the SLM Events page, when you setup a "Trap" as an Event Trigger, you don't have to explicitly describe the OID down to the last digit.

Example 1:

If you define a trap as shown below: 

Trigger Type

[v] Trap            IP Address: 172.19.237.10

                    OID: 1.3.6.1.4.1.244.1.1   

It will match all SLC custom traps received from the specified IP address(172.19.237.10).  These include:

1.3.6.1.4.1.244.1.1.0.1 (power supply)

1.3.6.1.4.1.244.1.1.0.2 (sysadmin password)

1.3.6.1.4.1.244.1.1.0.3 (shutdown)

1.3.6.1.4.1.244.1.1.0.4 (device port data)

Example 2:

If you define a trap as shown below: 

Trigger Type

[v] Trap            IP Address: 172.19.237.10

                    OID: 1.3.6.1.6.3.1.1.5      

It will match all generic SNMP traps received from the specified IP address(172.19.237.10).  These include:

1.3.6.1.6.3.1.1.5.1    (cold start)   

1.3.6.1.6.3.1.1.5.2    (warm start)

1.3.6.1.6.3.1.1.5.3    (link down)

1.3.6.1.6.3.1.1.5.4    (link up)

1.3.6.1.6.3.1.1.5.5    (auth failure)

1.3.6.1.6.3.1.1.5.6    (egpNeighborLoss)

Example 3:

If you define a trap as shown below: 

Trigger Type

[v] Trap            IP Address: 172.19.237.10

                    OID: 1.3.6.1.4.1.244.1.1.0.1   

This will only match SLC power supply trap received from the specified IP address(172.19.237.10).
