Forwarding Messages to an NMS

If you are forwarding messages to an NMS, you need to set up an SNMP connection because all N1 Provisioning Server monitoring messages sent to an NMS are in the form of an SNMP trap. SNMP requires the implementation of a management information base (MIB) for implementing trap versions. The N1 Provisioning Server monitoring mechanism sends only version 2 traps. However the CPDB can convert the trap versions. You can configure the monitoring mechanism to forward messages to an NMS in the tspr.properties file on the /etc/opt/terraspring directory as follows:

com.terraspring.mlg.SnmpConf.forwardingIP=IP address of NMS

After configuring this property, restart the SnmpTrap daemon as follows:

/opt/terraspring/sbin/snmpd stop
/opt/terraspring/sbin/snmpd start

See Chapter 2, I-Fabric Operation for more details on monitoring properties.
