Deliver Alarms as SNMP Traps

To deliver alarms as SNMP traps, use the following command to specify the trap address of the management application:

set snmp-log = udp hostname port portnumber;

You can set this in the DSA logging configuration file (.dxc) in the logging directory.

This command causes the following traps to happen:

• Trap 0—Unclassified DSA alarms & assertion failures. See Traps 6, 7, and 8 for classified alarms.
• Trap 1—Details of an update request
• Trap 2—Details of a bind request.
• Trap 3—Details of an operation error.
• Trap 4—The DN of a user whose password is suspended.
• Trap 5—Details of a multiwrite error.
• Trap 6—Any Error DSA alarm.
• Trap 7—Any Warning DSA alarm.
• Trap 8—Any Information DSA alarm

Each trap contains these three variables:

• sysName—Contains the name of the DSA sending the trap
• sysDescr—Contains sufficient information to reconstruct the actual update operation
• sysLocation—Contains the actual alarm text.

To stop logging SNMP events, use this command:

close snmp-log;
