Understanding Events and Traps
An event is something that happens to the operating status of a router platform.
The router stores the event as a single entry in a memory-resident log.
A trap is simply an event that the router platform transmits to some external
network device.
An event message provides a brief description of an event, along with the event
code associated with that event. The event code is useful if you are using
third-party network management software to view Bay Networks events. It is also
useful when looking up events in this book.
This guide provides detailed descriptions of the Bay Networks event messages,
along with recommended responses to these events.
