Forwarding Traps to Managers Communicating Through IPC
No mechanism exists for the SNMP agent to automatically forward traps through the
IPC interface. To forward traps to an SNMP manager that communicates with the
SNMP agent through NonStop Kernel IPC calls, configure a trap destination using a
host address of 127.0.0.1 (the local loopback address, a TCP/IP convention that refers
to “this” host).
Disabling the Sending of Traps
Any SNMP manager using the proper access authority can disable the sending of
authenticationFailure traps to all configured trap destinations by setting the
snmpEnableAuthenTraps MIB object to 2. Refer to Appendix C, Unsolicited SNMP
Agent Messages, for more information.
