Configuring SNMP Traps

To receive SNMP traps, perform the following steps:

1.

Stop the LSI SAS SNMP Agent by using the following command:

#/etc/init.d/lsi_mrdsnmpd stop

2.

Edit the /etc/lsi_mrdsnmp/sas/sas_TrapDestination.conf file and add the IP address as shown in the following excerpt:

#################################################
# Agent Service needs the IP addresses to sent trap
# The trap destination may be specified in this file

# or using snmpd.conf file. Following indicators can

# be set on "TrapDestInd" to instruct the agent to
# pick the IPs as the destination.
# 1 - IPs only from snmpd.conf
# 2 - IPs from this file only
# 3 - IPs from both the files
#################################################
TrapDestInd 2
#############Trap Destination IP##################
# add port no after IP address with no space after colon to send the SNMP trap message to custom port.

# Alternatively, you can also use trapsink command in snmpd.conf to send the SNMP trap message to

# custom port, else default SNMP trap port 162 shall be used.

127.0.0.1 public
145.147.201.88:1234 testComm
#################################################

 

* 

NOTE Solaris also supports Custom community support.

 

3.

If in case, ’TrapDestInd’ above is set to 1, IP addresses shall be taken from /etc/sma/snmp/snmpd.conf file in the following format:

’com2sec snmpclient 172.28.157.149 public’

’Trapsink’ and ’TrapCommunity’ tokens are supported for sending customized SNMP traps.

 

* 

NOTE In Solaris 11 x86 the file will be taken from /etc/net-snmp/snmp/snmpd.conf.

 

4.

Start the LSI SAS SNMP Agent by entering the following command:

#/etc/init.d/lsi_mrdsnmpd start
