DescriptionAs of this writing, the following Alcatel switches do not support MAC Notification traps:Alcatel-Lucent 6250 24 PORT COPPER FE 6.6.2.249.R01Alcatel-Lucent OS6850-U24X 6.4.3.640.R01Alcatel-Lucent OS6850-24X 6.4.3.640.R01
Therefore, link state traps must be configured.
Note the following:- Based
on switch model and version, some of the commands may differ. If these
commands do not work as expected, consult the Product Manual or Alcatel
Support.
- In
an environment where a large number of devices and
ports are managed, the best practice on switches that support SNMP MAC notification
traps is to use these traps, instead of the standard link state
traps, to increase performance.
- Ports
with IP Phones connected will not change data VLANs immediately if a
host is connected behind the phone.
SolutionFor instructions on configuring link traps for these devices, refer to the document Configuring Traps for MAC Notification in the Fortinet Document Library.Related Articles
