Variables for Use in Trigger Functions

NerveCenter defines several variables for use in trap mask trigger functions. For the most part, these variables contains the values of the fields in a trap's Protocol Data Unit (PDU), with the exception of the variable bindings.

The complete list of variables that you can use in a trap mask trigger function is shown in the table below:
