Hi,

I have a QNAP hard drive enclosure that can listen out for APC compatible  
UPS (uninterruptable power supply) SNMP traps and shut down automatically  
if the power fails. That works fine. However, I'm trying to enable that  
same functionality on a Linux box on the same network. Currently, the SNMP  
traps are broadcast to 192.168.1.255. The QNAP is receiving those just  
fine. I also wrote a small UPS utility for Windows, and that works too.

However, now that I'm trying to use snmptrapd from net-snmp I've just run  
out of luck! I've tried some debug arguments from the wiki "-f -Lo" to see  
if any traps are being received at all, but there is nothing. There is  
packet filtering on the Linux box, but I temporarily disabled that, with  
no success (tested by telneting to the box, which is normally blocked).

Can snmptrapd even receive broadcast traps? What can I try to get this  
working? I've tried all the currently supported versions of net-snmp  
(5.2.5, 5.3.2.2 and 5.4.2).

Thanks in advance for any help!
