Configuring A/V Services Using SNMPEditing snmpd.conf to Enable TrapsMakito X User’s Guide, v2.2, Issue 02 247Editing snmpd.conf to Enable TrapsTo enable the generation of SNMP traps, you may need to edit the file/usr/share/snmpd.conf to set the Trap receiving host. You must be logged in withadministrative privileges to edit this file.The file contains the syntax for v2c and v3 traps in a comment above the #trapsess line.NOTE trapsess provides a generic mechanism for defining notification destinations. Theoption -Ci can be used (with -v2c or -v3) to generate an INFORM notification rather thanan unacknowledged TRAP. This is the recommended directive for defining SNMPv3 trapreceivers.To edit the snmpd.conf file:1. Open the /usr/share/snmp/snmpd.conf configuration file.2. Uncomment the trapsess line (delete the leading #) and replace “trapreceiver” bythe IP address of the “host” receiving SNMP traps.3. Change the community (public) if needed and the port number (162) if your trapreceiver is not using the well known SNMP trap port.################################################# SECTION: Traps## This section defines who is receiving traps from this snmp agent.## trapsess: Send v2c or v3 TRAP or INFORM (-Ci)# arguments: [-Ci] -v2c -c community-string host[:port]# arguments: [-Ci] [-e engineID] -v3 -u user [-a {MD5|SHA} -A passwd] [-x{DES|AES} -X passwd] [-l level] host[:port]# example: trapsess -v3 -u joenet -a SHA -A secret -l authNoPriv mynms:162##trapsess -Ci -v2c -c public trapreceiver:162
