CHAPTER 4 Work Required After Operating System Installation
Verifying the trap transfer destination setting
To verify the trap transfer destination setting, use the standard net-snmp trap that
would be used to restart snmpd. Check the reception of this trap to verify the transfer
destination setting.
Remarks:A trap receipt application or trap manager must be active at the trap transfer
Restart snmpd by executing the following command on the trap transfer source
machine:
# /etc/init.d/snmpd restart
As a result, the trap receipt application at the trap transfer destination receives the
"ColdStart" standard net-snmp trap.
For example, if the trap transfer destination is a Linux machine, the following
message is added to syslog when snmptrapd receives the trap, and this indicates that
the trap transfer destination can correctly receive such traps.

destination to ensure that net-snmp standard traps can be received.
If the operating system is SUSE™ Linux Enterprise Server 9 Service
Pack 2 and direct reporting of traps to the SNMP manager has been set,
"0.0.0.0" is reported as the Agent Address value in the SNMP layer in
reported trap data. Consequently, the SNMP manager cannot identify the
IP address of the trap transfer source from the Agent Address value.
However, the transfer source of a PSA expansion trap can be identified,
since its trap data is accompanied by a host name.
IP addresses are reported in the IP layer. To use a trap transfer source IP
address for the purpose of identification, the "%b" option can be added to
the initial parameters in snmptrapd, such as for reception of the IP address
by the SNMP manager using snmptrapd. This method can output
information including the trap transfer IP source address, so the transfer
source can be identified.
For details on the initial parameters in snmptrapd, see the man page for
snmptrapd.
