O/S specific

  • 1753328 2007-07-13

Traps

  • 1926542
  • 1916840 2008-03-17/26
    Two alternative suggestions for explicitly setting SNMPv1 trap agent address
    • Already applied (SVN revision 17098)
    • #1916840 is already closed, #1926542 can be closed (now done)
    • Feature Request: v1 agentAddr should default to clientAddr (if specified)
  • 1823800 2007-10-31
    Kill -HUP <pid> doesn't reload trap2sink from snmpd.conf
    • Patch should work - just needs to be applied and tested
    • Jan
  • 1737439 2007-06-14
    Patch for linkUp/linkDown traps generation
    • General agreement to separate linkUp/Down trap generation from triggering code

  • 1759178 2007-07-23
    netlink-based link state trap generation (5.2.3-7 - debian)
    • Implement as event-driven trigger for reload of table data. Links neatly into #1737439.
    • Dave - once 1737439 is in place.
  • 559312 2002-05-22
    [ucd-snmp-4.2.5] authTrap PDU w/ address
