WebLogic SNMP Agent Command-Line Reference

WebLogic Server Command Reference

snmptrapd

Starts a daemon that receives traps and prints information about the trap.

Syntax

java snmptrapd [-d] [-c snmpCommunity] [-p TrapDestinationPort]

Argument	Definition
`-c` `snmpCommunity`	Specifies that community name that the SNMP agent (or `snmpv1trap` command) used to generate the trap. If you do not specify a value, the command assumes `-c public`.
`-p` `TrapDestinationPort`	Specifies the port number on which the trap daemon receives traps. If you do not specify a value, the command assumes `-p 162`.

Argument

Definition

-c snmpCommunity

Specifies that community name that the SNMP agent (or snmpv1trap command) used to generate the trap.

If you do not specify a value, the command assumes -c public.

-p TrapDestinationPort

Specifies the port number on which the trap daemon receives traps.

If you do not specify a value, the command assumes -p 162.

Example

The following command starts a trap daemon and instructs it to listen for requests on port 165. The daemon runs in the shell until you kill the process or exit the shell:

java snmptrapd -p 165

If the command succeeds, the trap daemon returns a blank line with a cursor. The trap daemon waits in this state until it receives a trap, at which point it prints the trap.

Example: Sending Traps to the Trap Daemon

To generate WebLogic Server traps and receive them through the trap daemon:

Open a command prompt (shell) and invoke the following script:

WL_HOME\server\bin\setWLSEnv.sh (or setWLSEnv.cmd on Windows) where WL_HOME is the directory in which you installed WebLogic Server.

To start the trap daemon, enter the following command:

java snmptrapd

Open another shell and invoke the following script:

WL_HOME\server\bin\setWLSEnv.sh (or setWLSEnv.cmd on Windows)

To generate a trap, enter the following command:

java snmpv1trap localhost .1.3.6.1.4.140.625 localhost 6 60 1000

The snmpv1trap command generates a serverStart Trap and broadcasts it through port 162.

In the shell in which the trap daemon is running, the daemon prints the following:

Trap received from: /127.0.0.1, community: public Enterprise: .1.3.6.1.4.140.625 Agent: /127.0.0.1 TRAP_TYPE: 6 SPECIFIC NUMBER: 60 Time: 1000 VARBINDS:
