The carrier switches and backhauls always have them though. See Adtran,
Ceragon, etc. Someone uses them.
All I can imagine is maybe you have a cellular or serial packet radio
that can send you the alarms even if you lose connectivity. Or maybe
it's just an organizational momentum thing. You already have all this
SCADA/modbus stuff already so you keep using it.

I'm not sure why you'd bother with a switch or BH if it has SNMP. I
know most of my customers who monitor contacts are monitoring things
they can't poll via SNMP because it doesn't support it.

Who monitors alarm relays on network equipment like switches and

I feel like you'd have to have a separate out of band network to
carry
the alarms in order for that to have any benefit.....but maybe if
you're
Verizon that's not a problem. Am I off base on this?
