- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 1. General SNMPTRAP Help ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- The SNMP Trap monitor displays SNMP traps that are sent to your system by SNMP
- agents running on other systems. These SNMP agents must be configured to make
- your system a destination for SNMP trap information.
-
- An SNMP trap is an event notification that is sent by an SNMP agent or
- subagent. Examples of such events are
-
- o coldStart: Signifies that the SNMP agent is initializing itself such that MIB
- objects can be altered. One case of this is a workstation reboot.
-
- o warmStart: Signifies that the SNMP agent is initializing itself such that MIB
- objects are not altered.
-
- o linkDown: Indicates that an interface has changed from the up to the down
- state.
-
- o linkUp: Indicates that an interface has changed from the down to the up
- state.
-
- o authenticationFailure: Indicates that an SNMP message has been received that
- is not properly authenticated. For the OS/2 SNMP agent, authentication means
- that both the community name and source address have been verified.
-
- o egpNeighborLoss: Indicates that an EGP peer has been marked down.
-
- o enterpriseSpecific: Indicates that some other, privately defined, event has
- occurred. For example, using the SNMP agent DPI interface, SNMP subagents
- can be created with enterprise specific traps.
-
- When an SNMP trap notification is received, if the trap monitor is active it
- will display the text of the notification. Included in the notification is the
- community name and IP address of the agent reporting the trap, the object ID of
- the agent that generated the trap (this indicates what kind of agent sent the
- trap), the trap type, and the timestamp.
-
- Only one instance of SNMPTRAP can be active on your workstation at any one
- time.
-
- Trap monitoring can be turned on or off, and trap information can be logged to
- a file.
-
-
- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2. Help for Listen for traps ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- When the SNMP trap monitor is started, it immediately begins listening for
- traps. This can be turned on or off by clicking on Listen for traps. A check
- next to Listen for traps indicates that listening is on. Listen for traps is
- found in the Session menu of the SNMP trap monitor menu bar.
-
-
- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 3. Help for Clear ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- The Clear function clears the SNMP trap monitor window. Clear is found in the
- Session menu of the SNMP trap monitor menu bar.
-
-
- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4. Help for Log traps to a file ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- This option, in the Options menu of the SNMP trap monitor menu bar, turns SNMP
- trap logging on or off. A check mark next to the option indicates that logging
- is on. When logging is active, all incoming trap information is written to the
- file SNMPTRAP.LOG, in the ETC subdirectory of the workstation.
-
-
- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 5. Help for Save Options ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- This menu item saves the current state of SNMP trap options, so that when the
- SNMP trap monitor is next started, it starts in the same state. At present, the
- only option that is saved is the state of trap logging.
