SNMP Traps

[phr00zen]

Hello All,

A very simple silly question from me.

I am build a new SIM server in our org. Now I would be moving all the servers (600) from old SIM server to the new SIM server.
Basically I would be adding the IP of the new SIM server to the SNMP Service-trap.

Once I add the new SIM server, do I need to restart the snmp service? would all the alerts be going to the old sim and the new sim server? Would writing a script to add the IP to the registry work?

Thanks in Advance for your help.

hi,

if you have entries for both old and new sim servers in your snmp configs on your systems then yes you will get traps sent to both,maybe that's what you want at first to ensure the new one is working correctly then remove entries for the old when all ok, you should'nt need to restart snmp although it won't hurt to do so.
