How to Enable Trap Forwarding

  1. To enable trap forwarding, issue the following command:

    # itpconfig enable trapforwarding --ipaddress=ipaddress --port=port --community=community

    Note:

    If the trap forwarding is already enabled, use the itpconfig modify trapforwarding command instead.

    Mandatory options for itpconfig enable trapforwarding are:

    Option Description

    --ipaddress

    Sets the destination IP address for the forwarded trap. This can be loopback (127.0.0.1) or any other valid IP address. This must correspond to the configuration of the SNMP listener.

    --port

    Sets the destination port for the forwarded trap. There is no default value, but 162 is a common port value. This must correspond to the configuration of the SNMP listener.

    --community

    Sets the destination SNMP V2c community for the forwarded trap. This value must correspond to the configuration of the SNMP listener.

    # itpconfig enable trapforwarding --ipaddress=127.0.0.1 --port=1234 --community=test
