I am desperately seeking some help as I am really struggling, but I accept this isn't really the remit of this list - if its more appropriate off list replies are fine by me.
I have net-snmp installed and apparently working e.g. snmpget returns values from localhost. I now want to test sending traps to a HP Openview Network Node Manager (I am told this is what should be happening - I inherited a very very partial OV installation and am trying to make it work with no budget and little background. Aren't I lucky?!). I have run snmp-config and nominated the NNM server as the receiver of traps (snmpd.conf attached below - some of the triggers are deliberately set to create traps at the moment for test ppurposes). I can issue commands like bash-3.00# snmptrap -v 2c -c public localhost "" UCD-SNMP-MIB::ucdStart bash-3.00# snmptrap -v 2c -c public localhost "" .1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.251.1 bash-3.00# snmptrap -v 2c -c public localhost "" ucdStart sysContact.0 s "Dave" - but nothing ever appears in NNM. If I restart the snmpd daemon then an alarm does appear then in NNM noting this - but that's is all I ever see there. Any pointers or other help greatefully received. I have no idea where to go from here :-( cheers ian --- ########################################################################### # # snmpd.conf # # - created by the snmpconf configuration program # ########################################################################### # SECTION: System Information Setup # # This section defines some of the information reported in # the "system" mib group in the mibII tree. # syslocation: The [typically physical] location of the system. # Note that setting this value here means that when trying to # perform an snmp SET operation to the sysLocation.0 variable will make # the agent return the "notWritable" error code.
