SNMP Monitor

The CAIENF SNMP Monitor enables CA products to issue SNMP traps using a common SNMP proxy. The SNMP Monitor runs as a started task and uses CAIENF to listen for these events. The user ID of the started task must have a valid OMVS segment.

When an ENFSNMP event occurs, it is transmitted using TCP/IP CA Services, and other SNMP managers can receive the z/OS exception condition. SNMP traps are sent to the port defined for SNMP-trap, which is usually 162. The IP address to which the events are sent is set by the CA product that issues them and is included in the events.

For information about where to set the IP address, see your product documentation.

Note: The CAIENF SNMP Monitor requires TCP/IP and IBM C libraries.
