Trap severity

A severity code is contained by each trap. The severity code is not included in the trap; it is added when the network management program trap daemon is configured.

The following describes each severity code:

CLEARED
Establishment of a normal status
INDETERMINATE
Informational messages
WARNING
Possible system errors
MINOR
Low-priority error; for example, failure in an end system
CRITICAL
Medium-priority error; for example, failure of a component between a central system and an end system
MAJOR
High-priority error; for example, failure of a central key component
