Notification Format

For each alarm and event notification, the following information is provided (see Table 13-1).

Table 13-1 Trap Notification Format

Field
NCS Message

MIB Name

The MIB Name is the name of the notification as defined in the management information base (MIB). In some cases, if the event is specific only to the NMS, this field is not relevant. You can define multiple events in NCS from the same trap based on the values of the variables present in the trap. In such cases, multiple subentries appear with the same MIB Name. In addition, this field displays the value of the variable that caused NCS to generate this event.

Alarm Condition

This filed displays the condition for which the trap was generated.

NCS Message

The NCS Message is a text string that reflects the message displayed in the NCS alarm or event browser associated with this event. Numbers such as "{0}" reflect internal NCS variables that typically are retrieved from variables in the trap. However, the order of the variables as they appear in the trap cannot be derived from the numbers.

Symptoms

This field displays the symptoms associated with this event.

Severity

This field displays the severity assigned to this event in NCS.

Category

This field displays the category of the trap.

Probable Causes

This field lists the probable causes of the notification.

Recommended Actions

This field lists any actions recommended for the administrator managing the wireless network.

Symptoms

The system sends this trap out when the controller disables access point functionality because the license key has expired.

Severity

Critical.

Category

Controller

Probable Causes

When the controller boots up, it checks whether the feature license key matches the controller's software image. If it does not, the controller disables access point functionality.

Recommended Actions

Configure the correct license key on the controller and reboot it to restore access point functionality.

Alarm Condition

NA

NCS Message

Poor SNR.

Symptoms

SNR (signal-to-noise) ratio is important because high signal strength is not enough to ensure good receiver performance. The incoming signal must be stronger than any noise or interference that is present. For example, you can have high signal strength and still have poor wireless performance if there is strong interference or a high noise level.

Severity

Major.

Category

Mesh

Alarm Condition

NA

NCS Message

Console login successful or failed.

Symptoms

The console port provides the ability for the customer to change the user name and password to recover the stranded outdoor access point. To prevent any unauthorized user access to the access point, NCS sends an alarm when someone tries to log in. This alarm is required to provide protection because the access point is physically vulnerable being located outdoors.

Severity

A login is of critical severity.

Category

Mesh

Probable Causes

You have successfully logged in to the access point console port or failed on three consecutive tries.

Recommended Actions

None.


CISCO_LWAPP_MESH_AUTHORIZATION_FAILURE
