[2010/08/17 08:27:04] #net-snmp <TrogL> Need some help. Opportunity to score big-time at work. They've finally, finally decided to properly implement SNMP and need to make sure I've got my story straight
[2010/08/17 08:27:44] #net-snmp <TrogL> my big problem, they want to send to multiple trap destinations using software not designed to send traps to multiple destinations
[2010/08/17 08:28:13] #net-snmp <rstory-work> use snmptrapd as a forwarder
[2010/08/17 08:28:25] #net-snmp <TrogL> oh, platform is linux. HPUX, HP Openview, EMC Networker, HP Performance Advisor
[2010/08/17 08:28:40] #net-snmp <TrogL> no solaris :-(
[2010/08/17 08:29:06] #net-snmp <TrogL> pretty much what I figured.
[2010/08/17 08:29:20] #net-snmp <TrogL> one box per building?
[2010/08/17 08:30:15] #net-snmp <TrogL> they're taking redundency pretty seriously
[2010/08/17 08:32:56] #net-snmp <TrogL> longer version: the network has its good days and bad days. Should I have one box running snmptrapd per building to route the traps for that building?
[2010/08/17 08:33:31] #net-snmp <TrogL> The NMS servers aren't necessarily in all buildings - there's only two
[2010/08/17 08:34:38] #net-snmp <TrogL> can snmptrapd be configured to both locally log traps and redirect them to multiple sources?
[2010/08/17 08:34:43] #net-snmp <rstory-work> well, use informs instead of traps wherever possible..
[2010/08/17 08:34:47] #net-snmp <rstory-work> yes
[2010/08/17 08:34:58] #net-snmp <TrogL> ok
[2010/08/17 08:37:12] #net-snmp <TrogL> may have more questions later
[2010/08/17 08:51:56] #net-snmp <TrogL> trying to make sense of someone else's comments. "Reviewed MIB again. Although it has trap references, it doesn't seem to have any traps in it. Loading the above text file (XPPAEventMib.mib) into the SNMP Network Management Products are not permitted to populate the MIB"
[2010/08/17 08:52:20] #net-snmp <TrogL> any idea what he's talking about? Suspect he's trying to load HP Openvview
--> Loginx has joined #net-snmp
[2010/08/17 09:46:32] #net-snmp <rstory-work> TrogL: which part? traps or loading? can't help with the loading, but should be easy to look at the mib and see if any traps are defined.
[2010/08/17 10:15:19] #net-snmp <TrogL> I've got the MIB in front of me. What am I looking for?
[2010/08/17 10:40:05] #net-snmp <rstory-work> NOTIFICATION-TYPE objects
[2010/08/17 10:42:49] #net-snmp <rstory-work> may TRAP-TYPE, if it is a v1 mib

[2010/08/17 13:11:06] #net-snmp <TrogL> no NOTIFICATION-TYPE objects they're all something like...
