XML elements in the Trap state system

XML Element	Attributes	Possible Values	Description
`<traps>`	None		Delimits trap state definition
`<new>`			Structural element that lets you specify new traps for an object
	`type`	`ColdStart, WarmStart, LinkFailure, AuthenticationFailure, EGPNeighborLoss`	This attribute is mandatory. It defines the type of the new trap to be set.
	`operation`	`set` , `add` , `remove`	This attribute is optional. It specifies whether the trap should be set, added to or removed from the object state. The default value is `set` indicating that the trap will be set in the object state. This attribute is used within an `<updateState>` element.

	`type`	`ColdStart, WarmStart, LinkFailure, AuthenticationFailure, EGPNeighborLoss`	This attribute is mandatory. It defines the severity of the acknowledged trap to be set.
	`operation`	`set` , `add` , `remove`	This attribute is optional. It specifies whether the trap should be set, added to or removed from the object state. The default value is `set` indicating that the trap will be set in the object state. This attribute is used within an `<updateState>` element.

How to add a network element with traps defined in XML

<addObject id="NE2">
  <class>ilog.tgo.model.IltNetworkElement</class>
  <attribute name="name">NE2</attribute>
  <attribute name="type">Mainframe</attribute>
  <attribute name="position" javaClass="ilog.cpl.graphic.IlpPoint">
    <x>229</x>  <y>126</y>
  </attribute>
  <attribute name="objectState" javaClass="ilog.tgo.model.IltSNMPObjectState">
    <state>Up</state>
    <traps>
      <new type="LinkFailure">5</new>
      <ack type="AuthenticationFailure">2</ack>
    </traps>
  </attribute>
</addObject>

How to set traps to an existing object using XML

The following example shows how to set traps to an object that already exists in the data source. You can achieve this by using the XML tag <updateObject> to modify the attribute objectState :

<updateObject id="NE1">
  <attribute name="objectState" javaClass="ilog.tgo.model.IltSNMPObjectState">
    <state>Up</state>
    <traps>
      <new type="LinkFailure">2</new>
      <ack type="AuthenticationFailure">3</ack>
    </traps>
  </attribute>
</updateObject>

How to update traps incrementally using XML

<updateObject id="NE1">
  <updateState>
    <traps>
      <new type="ColdStart">1</new>
      <new type="LinkFailure" operation="remove">1</new>
      <new type="AuthenticationFailure" operation="add">1</new>
      <ack severity="LinkFailure" operation="add">1</ack>
      <ack severity="AuthenticationFailure" operation="remove">3</ack>
    </traps>
  </updateState>
</updateObject>
