Monitoring Cisco 3750 stacks - OIDs or traps ?

We use both, although not on precisely this hardware.  On our foundry load
balancer and SAN, for example, we catch SNMP traps but also poll a few
health counters in case the traps were missed.  If you put in an snmptrapd
that intelligently parses caught traps its no difficulty to catch alerts.

As to *which* trap OIDs, or *which* OIDs to monitor, that's a different
question.  Presumably someone out there can help?
