Sorry, I was out unexpectedly Friday,
Yes, well to be honest, I'm not sure.
I would like to be able to recieve the snmp traps, without having to plug in another network cable. I'm starting to wonder if thats even worth it.
basically we have all these thousands of network device configured to send their traps to a specific IP address, we have that IP address reserved, and I'd like to plumb it up on my Solaris 10 server running the NNM application.
If I need to physically run a network cable to another NIC card, then I can arrange that.
I had hoped that I could plumb a virtual interface on the Server, and recieve the traps, without a physical connection, that's starting to sound crazy to me now...

Hi,
Just wondering if anyone knows how can I send an SNMP Trap in Unix Environment(AIX) to another machine (NT/Ux) after having activated the SNMP in the AIX.
Can this be done by using a single command line or do I have to write a script for it?
Thanks in advance for your advices.

netsnmp_trap_api
NETSNMP_TRAP_API(3) Net-SNMP NETSNMP_TRAP_API(3)
NAME
send_easy_trap, send_trap_vars, send_v2trap - send TRAPs or INFORMs from a Net-SNMP MIB module
SYNOPSIS
#include <net-snmp/agent/agent_trap.h>
void send_easy_trap(int trap, int specific);
void send_trap_vars(int trap, int specific, struct variable_list *vars);
void send_v2trap(struct variable_list *vars);
DESCRIPTION
These three routines may be used to send traps from a MIB module within the Net-SNMP agent (including an AgentX subagent).
send_easy_trap() sends an SNMPv1 trap (or the SNMPv2 equivalent) to the list of configured trap destinations (or "sinks"), using the pro-
vided values for the generic trap type, and specific trap value.
send_trap_vars() is similar, but appends the supplied list of variable bindings to the traps that are sent.
send_v2trap() uses the supplied list of variable bindings to form an SNMPv2 trap, which is sent to SNMPv2-capable sinks on the configured
list. An equivalent INFORM is sent to the configuredq list of inform sinks. Sinks that can only handle SNMPv1 traps are skipped.
The various "send_trap()" calls allow you to specify traps in different formats. And the various "trapsink" directives allow you to spec-
ify destinations to receive different formats. But *all* traps are sent to *all* destinations, regardless of how they were specified.
I.e. it's
___ trapsink
/
send_easy_trap ___ [ Trap ] ____ trap2sink
___ [ Generator ]
send_v2trap / [ ] ----- informsink
____
trapsess
*Not*
send_easy_trap -------------------> trapsink
send_v2trap -------------------> trap2sink
???? -------------------> informsink
???? -------------------> trapsess
WARNINGS
These routines are used to send the traps immediately they are called. Invoking them at the appropriate time is left to the MIB module
programmer.
