Creating SNMP Strings To Trap ALOM Console Messages
Greetings To All!
I am trying to accomplish the following:
Using a public SNMP string, create a trap which will trap ALOM console messages on a Solaris Sunfire T-1000 ALOM console. The platform is Solaris 10. These newly created traps need to be configured in such a way that they will send trapped ALOM console messages to a log file.
I have visited the docs.sun.com website as well as other websites and was able to find some background information, but not enough to put together a complete game plan. Specifically, I am missing the following information:
(1) The configuration file or files where I would configure the SNMP traps
(2) What process or processes/daemons need to be enabled/configured so as to implement/enable SNMP trapping
(3) The name of the log file where the results of ALOM console message trapping results would typically be routed to.
I think I have it all covered in steps 1-3 above, but if I am missing something or leaving something out, then I am not averse to being corrected and/or admonished. As I stated previously, I have visited several websites looking for enough information, but cannot seem to get it all altogether. I would deeply appreciate anyone who has ever done this before to share his/her advice/experience/notes with me. Thanks in advance!

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
NAME
straps - A simple SNMP trap multiplexer.
SYNOPSIS
straps [ port ]
_________________________________________________________________
DESCRIPTION
The straps trap daemon listens on the snmp-trap port (usually port 162/udp) for incoming SNMP trap or inform messages and forwards them to
all connected clients (like scotty). The optional port argument allows to use the straps daemon to forward messages received on a non stan-
dard SNMP trap port. However, port numbers below 1024 will be rejected.
Clients connect to the straps daemon by opening the AF_UNIX domain stream socket /tmp/.straps-port. Thus, the default AF_UNIX domain stream
socket is named /tmp/.straps-162.
Received messages are forwarded using the following format:
4 byte IP address of the sender (network-byte-order).
2 byte Port number of the sender (network byte order).
4 byte Length of the trap message (host-byte-order).
n bytes The trap message itself.
The straps daemon must be installed setuid root because normal operating systems require root permissions to open the standard SNMP trap
port 162/udp. The straps daemon rejects all port numbers below 1024 in order to protect the system security.
