SNMP traps can contain a variety of event-data types. The catalog of recorded events varies depending on the manufacturer and kind of device, with the simplest devices reporting only configuration or status changes. Unfortunately, some trap occurrences might be reported continuously during an incident, resulting in so-called “trap storms.” Interface state change is the most typical event type. While they can be produced by routine maintenance tasks, in more critical scenarios, they can demand immediate action from IT Ops. The most common type of occurrence recorded related to interface-state transition is port (or link) flapping, in which the interface regularly shuts down and reboots. The issue might be temporary or persistent and is often caused by link synchronization errors, such as those driven by physical connectivity concerns.
