Checklist for Using SNMP Traps

Before you can generate SNMP traps at your data center, you must put several things in place:

• You must have a TCP/IP network.
• You must have a Unicenter workstation.
• ENF must be configured to propagate SNMP traps.
• CA Auditor must be installed with the central parameter file (EPDSN=) option.
• The TNGNODES member of the central parameter file must point to a Unicenter workstation.
• The OPTIONS member of the central parameter file must specify TRAPAUTH=ALLOW or TRAPAUTH=SAF. If TRAPAUTH=SAF is specified, your security system must allow you access to the following resources in the CAEXAMIN class:
  • TRAPAUTH.BATCH for generating SNMP traps in batch
  • TRAPAUTH.TSO for generating SNMP traps under TSO
  • TRAPAUTH.TEST for generating test SNMP traps
• You must turn on traps in CA Auditor with the TRAP ON command.
