The Oracle Solaris 11 MIB provides the same SNMP traps as are provided by the Oracle Solaris 10 MIB. However, the net-snmp versions are different and they must be configured in different ways. In Oracle Solaris 10 MIB, snmptrapd accepts all incoming notifications and automatically logs them. In Oracle Solaris 11 MIB, access control checks are applied to incoming notifications. If snmptrapd runs without a suitable configuration file, or with equivalent access control settings, such traps are not processed. See the snmptrapd.conf(4) or snmptrapd.conf(5) man page.
Edit the /etc/sma/snmp/snmpd.conf file to add the directives to define the trap, inform version, and destination.
trapcommunity string --> define community string to be used when sending traps trapsink host[community [port]] --> to send v1 traps trap2sink host[community [port]] --> to send v2c traps informsink host[community [port]] --> to send informs
For more information, see the snmpd.conf(4) or snmpd.conf(5) man page.
Edit the /etc/net-snmp/snmp/snmpd.conf SNMP configuration file to add the directives to define the trap, inform version, and destination.
You must use the pfedit command to edit the /etc/net-snmp/snmp/snmpd.conf file.
trapcommunity string --> define community string to be used when sending traps trapsink host[community [port]] --> to send v1 traps trap2sink host[community [port]] --> to send v2c traps informsink host[community [port]] --> to send informs
For more information, see the snmpd.conf(4) or snmpd.conf(5) man page.
For example, the following directives use the public string as the community string when sending traps and indicate that the v1 traps are sent to the localhost destination:
trapcommunity public trapsink localhost
You must use the pfedit command to edit the /etc/net-snmp/snmp/snmpd.conf file.
The following example shows who is authorized to send traps (public) and how incoming traps should be processed (log,execute,net). See the snmptrapd.conf(4) or snmptrapd.conf(5) man page.
authCommunity log,execute,net public
This example sends send both v1 and v2c traps to the SNMP trap daemon that runs on the same host. Update the Oracle Solaris 10 /etc/sma/snmp/snmpd.conf file or the Oracle Solaris 11 /etc/net-snmp/snmp/snmpd.conf file with the following directives:
trapcommunity public trapsink localhost trap2sink localhost
For information about the output format options, see the snmptrapd(1M) man page.
The snmptrapd utility is an SNMP application that receives and logs SNMP TRAP messages. For example, the following snmptrapd command shows that a new domain was created (ldomTrapDesc = Ldom Created) with a name of ldg2 (ldomName = ldg2).
# /usr/sfw/sbin/snmptrapd -P -F \ "TRAP from %B on %m/%l/%y at %h:%j:%k Enterprise=%N Type=%w SubType=%q\n with Varbinds: %v\nSecurity info:%P\n\n" localhost:162 TRAP from localhost on 5/18/2007 at 16:30:10 Enterprise=.
