SNMP Traps Implementation

CA NSM has the ability to send and receive SNMP traps. Any received traps will 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’s PORT section:

161 UDP SNMPQE

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

:161 UDP SNMPQE

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

# 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. The syntax for the command is described in the Reference Guide.
