SCF-Configured Trap Destination Limitations:
Broadcast Only
Then, if the NonStop agent receives a request from the manager at Internet address
“155.186.130.123,” it creates and starts another TRAPDEST object:
TRAPDEST $agent-process.#DYNA1, COMMUNITY "Tandem",
NETWORK $ZTC0, HOSTADDR "155.186.130.123"
Dynamic TRAPDEST generation continues until you either:
•
ADD a TRAPDEST object (or create one through SNMP).
•
Stop and restart the NonStop agent with the WARM option after at least one default
TRAPDEST object has been generated
For more information on the circumstances under which dynamic TRAPDEST
generation is enabled and disabled, see The TRAPDEST Object on page 4-16.
SCF-Configured Trap Destination Limitations: Broadcast Only
The NonStop agent supports two types of trap destinations, directed and broadcast:
•
The NonStop agent sends traps to directed trap destinations only when specifically
told to do so by a subagent. Directed trap destinations only receive traps that are
specifically directed at them.
•
The NonStop agent sends traps to broadcast trap destinations when forwarding
traps not directed to a directed trap destination. Broadcast trap destinations
receive all traps that are not specifically directed at a particular trap destination.
Trap destinations created with SCF are only of type broadcast. The SCF interface does
not provide a means of creating directed trap destinations. However, a manager can
change the type of a trap destination configured through SCF from type broadcast to
type directed.
