Does anyone know if it's possible to include the Interface description when sending an snmp trap from a Cisco router or switch? I'd like to be able to setup an alert in snmp trap viewer on Orion 8.5.1, so that if a trap is received for an interface state change (IF-MIB:linkDown or IF-MIB:linkUp), and the interface description matches a specific string, then an alert is generated. Otherwise the trap is ignored. Then I could alert for specific interfaces that we care about only.
I realise this can be done using advanced alerts for interface snmp polling, but we do a status poll for interfaces every 120 seconds, so there could be up to a 2-minute delay before we know about the problem. Whereas alerting on a trap would be more real-time.
Thanks
Owen
