Technical Tip: Receiving Link Trap Status Alerts for All Ports

When SNMP trap functionality is enabled in the SNMP configuration, FortiSwitch sends a trap notification to the configured SNMP server whenever there is a port status change (for example, link up or link down).

Sample SNMP Configuration:

config system snmp community
    edit 1
        set events cpu-high mem-low log-full intf-ip ent-conf-change sensor-fault sensor-alarm fan-detect psu-status ip-conflict
            config hosts
                edit 1
                    set interface ''
                    set ip 10.10.10.10 255.255.255.255 <-- SNMP server IP.
                    set source-ip 0.0.0.0
                next
            end
        set name "test"
        set query-v1-port 161
        set query-v1-status enable
        set query-v2c-port 161
        set query-v2c-status enable
        set status enable
        set trap-v1-lport 162
        set trap-v1-rport 162
        set trap-v1-status enable <-- SNMP trap v1 enabled.
        set trap-v2c-lport 162
        set trap-v2c-rport 162
        set trap-v2c-status enable <-- SNMP trap v2 enabled.
    next
end

Disabling Specific Trap Events:

Certain trap events can be excluded from the set of events list to prevent their corresponding traps. For example, to disable traps related to 'psu-status', remove it from the event list of the SNMP config:

    set events cpu-high mem-low log-full intf-ip ent-conf-change sensor-fault sensor-alarm fan-detect ip-conflict

However, there is no available option to disable or suppress traps specifically related to port link status changes (link up/down). These traps are generated by default whenever a port status change occurs and cannot be filtered through SNMP event configuration.
