The Notice Queue

Notice Support Indication

A device MA that doesn't implement trap capability (or if its trap capability is has not been enabled by its GSM) may log detected events in an optional Notice attribute queue. A port indicates its support for the Get(Notice) and Set(Notice) operations in two ways:

  • The respective GMA's ClassPortInfo.CapabilityMask attribute element indicates whether or not the respective GSA supports these operations (see Table 28-7 on page 794).

  • The port's PortInfo.CapabilityMask attribute element indicates whether or not the device's SMA supports these operations (see Table 28-8 on page 797).

Accessing the Notice Queue

The depth of MA's Notice queue is device design-specific.
