ECS 3.5.0.1 Administration Guide

The SNMP enterprise MIB named ECS-MIB defines the objects trapAlarmNotification, notifyTimestamp, notifySeverity, notifyType, and notifyDescription. The SNMP enterprise includes supported SNMP traps that are associated with managing ECS appliance hardware. ECS sends traps from the Fabric lifecycle container, using services provided by the snmp4j Java library. The objects contained in the ECS-MIB have the following hierarchy:

emc.............................1.3.6.1.4.1.1139
    ecs.........................1.3.6.1.4.1.1139.102
        trapAlarmNotification...1.3.6.1.4.1.1139.102.1.1
            notifyTimestamp.....1.3.6.1.4.1.1139.102.0.1.1
            notifySeverity......1.3.6.1.4.1.1139.102.0.1.2
            notifyType..........1.3.6.1.4.1.1139.102.0.1.3
            notifyDescription...1.3.6.1.4.1.1139.102.0.1.4

You can download the ECS-MIB definition (as the file ECS-MIB-v2.mib) from the Support Site in the Downloads section under Add-Ons. The following Management Information Base syntax defines the SNMP enterprise MIB named ECS-MIB:
