SubObjectType

char

64

No

Used to further identify the object. The value in this field depends upon the ObjectType. This field is not mandatory and may be blank in some cases.

ObjectStatus

int

No

The current status of the object reporting the event (for example, "Downed", "Added", "Inserted" etc.)

Events cleared by Automation containing "Cleared" in the ObjectStatus.

Slot

char

4

No

Slot number of the network element reporting the event.

PSAP

char

6

No

Physical Service Access Point. The PSAP is a hierarchical identifier for the resource over which virtual circuits are provisioned. The word "Physical" refers to the OSI layer, thus, a PSAP identifies the Layer 1 facility.

This hierarchical structure follows the following convention: <physical_line>.<sub_channel1>.<sub_channel2>.<sub_channeln>.

For single port cards, physical line number is always 1.

For multi-port cards, physical line number starts at 1.

LSAP

char

6

No

Logical Service Access Point. For naming consistency, the concept of logical port numbering at the card level was introduced. For cards such as UFM, FRSM, and AUSM, a logical identifier for the port is created when the port is provisioned. It can essentially be thought of as a random number, as it has no inherent physical information contained within it. These identifiers are stored in the LSAP field. For IMA, it is this number which remains constant, even when lines are added and deleted from the port.

For virtual trunks, the LSAP contains the user assigned Trunk ID.

DSAP

char

24

No

Data-link Service Access Point.

This field contains the Virtual Circuit Identifier (VCI). The syntax is <DSAP> (<annotation>), with a space delimiting the DSAP from the annotation, and the annotation appearing in parentheses. This SAP is used between OSI Layer 3 and Layer 2 to identify virtual circuits. Depending upon the trap type and trap subtype, this field would contain:

FR: DSAP = <DLCI> (DLCI)

ATM: DSAP = <VPI>[.<VCI>] (VPI/VCI)

RemoteNEName

char

64

No

This field contains the remote network element name for connection and trunk events.

RemoteSlot

char

4

No

This field contains the slot number for the remote network element name for connection and trunk events.

RemotePSAP

char

6

No

This field contains the PSAP for the remote network element name for connection and trunk events.

RemoteLSAP

char

6

No

This field contains the LSAP for the remote network element name for connection and trunk events.

RemoteDSAP

char

24

No

This field contains the DSAP for the remote network element name for connection events.

AdditionalInfo

char

255

No

This field contains values for all SNMP VarBinds received in the traps that don't fall into one of the other fields.

TrapReason

char

64

No

This field contains the trap reason code as specified in the MIB for BPX 8600 and IGX 8400. For AXIS 8220, VNS, and ESP, trap reason is populated by the trap number itself, as each trap is associated with a specific event. This allows filtering on a range of traps, based upon trap identifiers.

Customer

char

64

char

64

No

Physical location field. This is specified by the Service Provider.

BitMapField

char

36

No

This field contains the BitMap from one of the SNMP VarBinds received by the Mediators.The Deocode BitMap tool uses the information within this field, along with the Convert field, to display the decoded values.

Convert

char

64

No

Field used by the BitMap Decode tool to define the conversion values for the BitMap held in the above field.

OldObjectStatus

int

No
