SNMP Trap Service

The SNMP Trap Service on Windows 2008 and earlier does not support IPv6. To support IPv6 on this platform, you must manually configure the catrapmuxd service as follows:

  1. Stop all CA NSM services with the following command:
    C:\> unicntrl stop all 
    
  2. Run services.msc. Stop and disable "SNMP Trap Service".
  3. Configure catrapmuxd as a replacement for the SNMP Trap Service with the following command:
    C:\> catrapmuxd UniConfig
    

    Which results in the following:

    C:\> catrapmuxd UniConfig
    Port 162 is not in use, configuration continuing...
    Catrapd will use port 6163 to listen for traps.
    TRAPMUX: Displaying current configuration file...
     C:\Program Files\CA\SC\CCS\WVEM\caiuser\catrapmux.conf
    CATRAPD:6163
    CATRAPMUX_CMD:6161
    AWS_SNMP:6162
    TRAPMUX: CA Trap Multiplexer installed successfully.
    TRAPMUX: Starting CA Trap Multiplexer.
    

    If you do not complete step 2, you will see the following result:

    C:\> catrapmuxd UniConfig
    CA Trap Multiplexer requires port 162 which is currently being used
    by another service or process (null)
    You must configure your processes or services so that
    port 162 is free before installing CA Trap Multiplexer
    

    To correct this, run step 2.

  4. Restart the CA NSM services with the following command:
    C:\> unicntrl start all 
    
  5. Verify the configuration with the following command:
    C:\>  netstat -a -b
    

    Verify in the output that catrapmuxd is listening on port "snmptrap" (161) and catrapd is listening on port 6163.
