SNMP Traps Implementation

CA NSM can send and receive the SNMP traps. Any received traps appear on the Event Management console.

To receive traps, the daemon catrapd must be running. By default, the process listens on port 161. Your TCP/IP procedure has a PROFILE DD that contains reserved port numbers. If you are not currently using this port, locate and change the following line in your PROFILE PORT section:

161 UDP SNMPQE

Insert a semi-colon at the beginning of the line:

:161 UDP SNMPQE

If port 161 is unavailable, select the port that you want and in file /cai/nsmem/snmp/scripts/envset, locate, and change the port:

# port number to listen on
CAICATD0001=161
export CAICATD0001

Change 161 to 9161 as follows:

# port number to listen on
CAICATD0001=9161
export CAICATD0001

You can use the catrap program to send a trap.
