Processing of SLIP commands

For an error event, the system gives control to SLIP before giving control to ESTAE or FRR recovery routines. This sequence allows SLIP to capture information before recovery routines change it, thus providing the advantage of working with the original problem data.

When you have defined more than one SLIP trap and SLIP gets control, SLIP first examines the most-recently defined trap. If SLIP does not find a match condition, it proceeds to the previously defined trap.

Any SLIP trap affects system performance, but PER traps can have a measurable effect on performance. Therefore, use conditions to filter the events being checked for matches, especially for PER traps. Improper use of PER traps can cause severe performance problems. See Setting effective SLIP PER traps.
