Error/Fault Data for Router Hardware

Previous sections looked at the MIB variables that tell what kind of hardware is in the network and how everything is physically allocated in the devices. This section turns to examining the variables you can use for error and fault management for the routers and switches.

For fault management in routers, this discussions focuses mainly on the SNMP traps and syslog messages that tell when hardware issues are arising in the network, versus actively going out and polling MIB objects. However, there are a few MIB variables that should be polled in conjunction with the reception of other events, such as a syslog message or defined MIB threshold being exceeded.
