Managing Traps › SNMP Trap Receiver

SNMP Trap Receiver

The SNMP Trap Receiver component is the integration point for CA Server Automation to receive incoming SNMP traps. The SNMP Trap Receiver component listens on a User Datagram Protocol (UDP) port (default 162) that catches the following types of traps:

• Incoming SNMP v1 traps
• Incoming SNMP v2c traps
• Incoming SNMP v3 traps
• v2c notification traps
• v3 notification traps

SNMP Trap Receiver handles SNMP v1, v2c, and v3 traps in the same manner and in some cases, there is no noticeable difference.

All traps that are not viewed as duplicates by the trap storm window are forwarded to ActiveMQ, where other components listen for specific trap IDs.

For SNMPv3 traps, you can configure SNMPv3 trap user authorization using the sysedgev3.cf file located in the Install_Path\CA\productname\conf directory.

Note: For more information about configuring for SNMPv3 in sysedgeV3.cf, see the SystemEDGE User Guide.
