RE: unable to generate traps

[sasson, shuki]

Make sure you have you have in your configuration file (snmpd.conf) trapsink trap2sink or informsink command with the proper IP Address. Mske sure that the configuration file is read indeed (there are several locations where snmpd.conf is read). If both are correct, it still might be a networking problem start a sniffer (like ethereal) and see if the trap is sent or trying to be sent.   Common networking problems : ARP is not resolved --- You would see ARP request for the destination address that are not resolved. Default Route is not defined properly on the machine. In this case you’ll see the trap sent twards a router that doesn’t serve the destination subnet.     Hope this helps,   Shuki   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Manju Ravikanthi Sent: Wednesday, September 14, 2005 2:48 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: net-snmp-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: unable to generate traps   Earlier I gave a mail regarding the failure of make test …… net-snmp 5.2.1   I rebuilded it n set the paths n ran it in bash shell it is installed without any errors …….
