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
