To configure your system running Server Administrator to send traps to a
management station, edit the SNMP agent configuration file,
/etc/snmp/snmpd.conf, and perform the following steps:
1
Add the following line to the file:
trapsink IP_address community_name
where IP_address is the IP address of the management station and
community_name is the SNMP community name
2 To enable SNMP configuration changes, restart the SNMP agent by
