The command specifies a command to be executed by snmptrapd upon reception by the command. SNMPv2 traps and informs are much easier, because they include the correct OID in the SNMPv2-MIB::snmpTrapOID.0 variable in the trap.
SNMP TRAP RECEIVER PLUS
To match this trap type, the traphandle OID should be the enterprise OID, plus 0, plus the specific type. Earlier in the tutorial, we sent a SNMPv1 enterprise specific trap with an enterprise OID of UCD-TRAP-TEST-MIB::demotraps, a trap type of 6 and a specific type of 17. When matching these traps, the traphandle OID is constructed using the enterprise OID and specific type specified in the trap. When the trap type is 6, the trap is an enterprise specific trap. For example, to match linkDown traps ( trap type 2), the correct OID would be "1.3.6.1.6.3.1.1.5.3" (or SNMPv2-MIB::snmpTraps.3, which is also IF-MIB::linkDown). To match a generic trap, the traphandle OID should be the SNMPv2-MIB::snmpTraps OID, with an additional final OID of the trap type + 1. Generic traps use trap types 0 through 5, and do not use the specific type. SNMPv1 traps fall into two broad categories: generic and enterprise specific. This means that SNMPv1 traps, which have a trap type and specific type, need to be represented in SNMPv2 format, which is described in RFC 2089.

Notice, that this only takes an OID to determine which trap (or notification) is received. This is controlled by the traphandle directive, with the syntax The snmptrapd utility also has the ability to execute other programs on the reception Respectively (MIB is defined in TUT:snmptrap#Trap_Definitions).

The two snmptrap commands described in TUT:snmptrap#SNMPv1_Traps: Which can accept and process such notifications.īy default, it will simply log all incoming notifications via syslog. The Net-SNMP suite includes an application snmptrapd To receive the notification, and respond accordingly. Generating traps is only half of the battle. Configuration of SNMPv3 notifications is described fully on a separate page: SNMPv3 adds security to the SNMP protocol and is a safer way to receive notification data. Those notifications may be logged, allowed to trigger executable actions (see below), and resend data to the network (forward).Ĭonfiguring snmptrap to accept SNMPv3 notifications

Will let snmptrapd process notifications received using the "public" community string. The easiest way to do this is by using the authCommunity nf configuration file token. To receive SNMPv1 or SNMPv2c notifications you need to tell snmptrapd your community strings.
