<But are you sure that the trap daemon is actually
*receiving* a 'linkDown' trap? The Net-SNMP agent
doesn't normally generate such things.
(See the FAQ entry "What traps are sent by the
agent?")>
I had ethereal running during the testing. And yes, I
did see the linkDown trap message received by the
destination terminal for the traps.
<No - you should create a (new) file 'snmptrapd.conf'
in the appropriate location - probably
/usr/local/etc/
or /usr/local/lib/snmp
Wherever you put your 'snmpd.conf' settings,
that's
the place to create 'snmptrapd.conf' as well.>
So, should I just create this new file wth the same
contents as the file that I am using right now (i.e.
the one in /var/net-snmp)?
< No idea - sorry.>
LOL. I understand, although how something can just
stop working after a while just puzzles me.
Thanks for all the help.
