Configuration guidelines for SNMP dying gasp trap

The system does not try to resolve the ARP when it needs to send out the SNMP dying-gasp trap, since the amount of time available during power loss event is very less. Instead, the system assumes that ARP entry to the gateway used to reach the SNMP trap server is always available. Nokia recommends that users run a periodic ping query to the SNMP trap server in the background using the cron utility.

Example

The following is a sample configuration output of a cron job which initiates a ping to the server mentioned in the pingscript file every one minute.

*7210-SAS># configure cron 
*7210-SAS >config>cron# info 
----------------------------------------------
        time-range "NO-TIME-RANGE" create
            description "NO-TIME-RANGE is the default always-on time-range"
        exit
----------------------------------------------
