Configuring Trap Destinations
A trap destination definition has the following attributes:
•
You name the object when you define it.
•
COMMUNITY or zagInTdCommunity specifies the name included in trap
messages. This attribute is assigned the value “Tandem” by default.
•
HOSTADDR or zagInTdHostAddr specifies the Internet address of an SNMP
manager to which traps are to be sent. You cannot use the wild-card Internet
address designation “0.0.0.0” as a value for this attribute; each value must be a
unique Internet address. No default value exists for this attribute.
•
NETWORK or zagInTdNetwork specifies the TCP/IP process that handles the
sending of trap messages. The TCP/IP process determines which subnet to use
for the actual data transfer. The default value is the TCP/IP process specified in the
TCPIP^PROCESS^NAME startup parameter or, if none was specified, $ZTC0 on
the local node.
•
The zagInTdType object specifies the type of the trap destination: directed or
broadcast. Directed trap destinations receive only trap messages specifically
directed to the trap destinations by the agent or subagent from which the trap
originates. Broadcast trap destinations receive all trap messages except directed
ones.
•
The zagInTdPort object specifies the port to which traps should be sent. The object
zagInTdPort cannot be viewed or managed through SCF, only from the SNMP
manager.
You can configure as many trap destination definitions as you like. SCF issues a
warning if you add a definition that points to a currently defined destination. In this
case, duplicate traps are sent to the same address.

Note. SCF does not provide for defining directed type trap destinations. All trap
destination definitions created through SCF are of type broadcast. (However, trap
designation definitions can be modified through SNMP to type directed.)
