Configuring Your System to Send Traps to a Management Station
Server Administrator generates SNMP traps in response to changes in the
status of sensors and other monitored parameters. One or more trap
destinations must be configured on the system running Server Administrator
for SNMP traps to be sent to a management station.
To configure your system running Server Administrator to send traps to a
management station, edit the SNMP agent configuration file,
/etc/snmpd.conf or /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
typing:
/etc/init.d/snmpd restart
