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
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.

We've started to wire things to the alarm inputs on our E7-2s. Things like
cab door open, battery alarms, environmental alarms, etc. These get logged
in CMS, and change the device icon to match alarm severity. We also use
SNMP to monitor things and send pages out but it is helpful to combine

Who monitors alarm relays on network equipment like switches and
backhauls? Can you explain why you'd do that over SNMP?
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
