SNMP traps

Carlos Avila — Mon, 16 Apr 2001 19:40:03 GMT

I am using HP-UX 10.0
I am also using NMM 5.0.
I have configured the snmpd.conf file to forward traps to itself and to another server running NMM on Windows NT.
When events are generated the UX NMM receives the event and displays it, but not the one on NT.
On the trap recipients window I can see the ip address of the NT server.
When I generate the command snmptrap with the ip address of the NT server as parameter the trap is received by NMM on NT but not on UX.
If I generate the command using "" for ip only the UX NMM receives the trap.

Any help? What am I missing?

Best Regards,

Hi,

Probably what you observe means that events are sent by NNM processes.
Trap destination you define in snmpd.conf are used by SNMP agent only, not when NNM processes send events.
Check exactly in the Alarm Browser window if these are really SNMP traps or NNM events.

Good Luck!

If they are NNM events, how do i forward them to a non NNM application as an snmp event?
I have configured the event to be forwarded to the NT server but it is not received either.

Thanks,

Hi again,

Just fast idea.
You mentioned that you can send traps via snmptrap command.
Try to use this command as an automatic action for events you want to inform about the NT stattion.

I tried putting the following command in automatic actions for the event

/opt/OV/bin/snmptrap 10.6.1.5 .1.3.6.1.4.1.1751.1.7 10.6.1.10 6 4032 0
and with quotes as well
but it doesn't do the trick. Should I get an error message somewhere?
Any help?
