  NAME

    .snmp_traps - Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) trap configuration

  DESCRIPTION

    The SNMP agent supports the delivery of traps to an appropriate network
    management system.  The /etc/.snmp_traps file contains the trap
    configuration for the SNMP agent.  It should be noted that RFC1215, "A
    Convention for Defining Traps for use with the SNMP," states "the use of
    traps in the Internet-standard network management framework is
    controversial."

    The format of the /etc/.snmp_traps file is:

       Trap_Manager_Address:nnn
       Cold_Start:xxx
       Warm_Start:xxx
       Link_Up:xxx
       Link_Down:xxx
       Authentication:xxx
       Enterprise:xxx


    The nnn parameter is a valid Internet address in the standard dot
    notation, a valid domain name, or a zero (0). The xxx parameter is "yes"
    or "no."

    The Trap_Manager_Address field of the /etc/.snmp_traps file defines the
    network management system to which this SNMP agent will send traps.  If
    this field is "0" no traps will be sent, regardless of individual trap
    configuration.  If this field is a domain name or Internet address, the
    individual trap configuration will determine if traps are sent.

    The Cold_Start field defines the SNMP coldStart trap configuration.  The
    cold start trap signifies that the agent is initializing itself as if the
    network configuration has been altered. This trap will be sent only if the
    agent is configured to start at system boot.

    The Warm_Start field defines the SNMP warmStart trap configuration.  The
    warm start trap signifies that the agent is initializing itself as if the
    network configuration has not been altered.  This trap will be sent only
    if the agent is configured to start a multiuser start.

    The Link_Up field defines the SNMP linkUp trap configuration.  The link up
    trap signifies that the agent recognizes that one of the communication
    links in the system's network configuration that was inactive has now
    become active.

    The Link_Down field defines the SNMP linkDown trap configuration.  The
    link down trap signifies that the agent recognizes that one of the active

    communication links in the system's network configuration has become
    inactive.

    The Authentication field defines the SNMP authenticationFailure trap
    configuration.  The authentication trap signifies that the agent
    recognizes that an SNMP message is not properly authenticated.
    Authentication failures are defined as SNMP messages with community
    strings that do not match any agent-configured community strings.

    The Enterprise field defines the SNMP enterpriseSpecific trap
    configuration.  The enterprise specific trap signifies that the agent
    recognizes that some enterprise-specific event has occurred.
