Usage Scenario

There are two types of traps for the hardware of the switch: BASETRAP and ENTITYTRAP.

The BASETRAP traps are sent when faults occur, so they are classified based on fault types. For example, the same BASETRAP trap is sent when a Power Module or a fan is removed.
The ENTITYTRAP traps are classified based on hardware types. For example, different ENTITYTRAP traps are sent when a Power Module is removed and when a fan is removed.

The functions of the two types of traps are similar. Select one type of traps based on your requirements.
