I was looking through RFC1157.  According to this RFC,

   The form of the Trap-PDU is:

     Trap-PDU ::=
         [4]

              IMPLICIT SEQUENCE {
                 enterprise          -- type of object generating
                                     -- trap, see sysObjectID in [5]
                     OBJECT IDENTIFIER,

                 agent-addr          -- address of object generating
                     NetworkAddress, -- trap

                 generic-trap        -- generic trap type
                     INTEGER {
                         coldStart(0),
                         warmStart(1),
                         linkDown(2),
                         linkUp(3),
                         authenticationFailure(4),
                         egpNeighborLoss(5),
                         enterpriseSpecific(6)
                     },

                 specific-trap     -- specific code, present even
                     INTEGER,      -- if generic-trap is not
                                   -- enterpriseSpecific

                 time-stamp        -- time elapsed between the last
                   TimeTicks,      -- (re)initialization of the network
                                   -- entity and the generation of the
                                      trap

                 variable-bindings   -- "interesting" information
                      VarBindList
             }

I assume that the variable bindings are specific to both the type of
trap and the type of device.  For example, on cold start a
multiprotocol router would probably have different information to
convey to a management station than a network printer would.

Is there a specification for "typical" "interesting" information as
relates to trap and to device.
