NAME
- straps- SNMP trap sink server
SYNOPSIS
-
straps
CAUTION
Do not execute this server command manually. It is automatically invoked and monitored for restart by the SSP startup script.
DESCRIPTION
The straps server listens to the SNMP trap port for incoming trap messages and forwards received messages to all connected clients.
The SNMP trap port is UDP port number 5051. The port is a privileged port and can be opened only once; therefore, straps is necessary to serve multiple SNMP-manager-type applications on the SSP. Essentially all clients that need to receive SNMP traps must establish a connection to the straps server. They do so by connecting to an AF_UNIX domain stream socket and getting the SNMP trap packet in raw binary form.
Each SSP can run only one instance of straps at a time.
FILES
The following files are supported:
$SSPETC/snmp/straps - stream socket device file
$SSPVAR/pids/straps.pid - process ID file
