Understanding SNMP Failover Traps for Chassis Cluster Redundancy Group Failover

Chassis clustering supports SNMP traps, which are triggered whenever there is a redundancy group failover.

Before You Begin

For background information, read about enterprise-specific MIBs for JUNOS Software in the JUNOS Network Management Configuration Guide.

The trap message can help you troubleshoot failovers. It contains the following information:

These are the different states that a cluster can be in at any given instant: hold, primary, secondary-hold, secondary, ineligible, and disabled. Traps are generated for the following state transitions (only a transition from a hold state does not trigger a trap):

A transition can be triggered due to any event, such as interface monitoring, SPU monitoring, failures, and manual failovers.

The trap will be forwarded over the control link if the outgoing interface is on a node different from the node on the Routing Engine that generates the trap.

You can specify that a trace log be generated by setting the traceoptions flag snmp statement.
