Hi all,

Is anyone aware of any direction I might look for supporting RECEIVING
SNMP traps from devices (not querying them via SNMP)? I have a device
that can set an SNMP destination, but I don't believe has support for
being queried by SNMP (if it does, it is a slightly moot point as it is
not on a network that can be accessed easily remotely).

Happy to just hear the name of a script or software if you know of one.

Just a WAG, but I'd try pointing it at an snmptrapd and then monitor the
log.  But maybe someone knows a better way.

Yes, you can have a separate trap column for each host.  The trap.sh
script that comes in the tar download on that page feeds the IP or
hostname to the trap.pl script which reports the status to Xymon.

I tweaked my trap.sh script to do dns lookups for all traps that come
in without a hostname so they can be reported to xymon with the
correct hostname.

Hi all,

Is anyone aware of any direction I might look for supporting
RECEIVING SNMP traps from devices (not querying them via SNMP)? I
have a device that can set an SNMP destination, but I don't believe
has support for being queried by SNMP (if it does, it is a slightly
moot point as it
is
not on a network that can be accessed easily remotely).

Happy to just hear the name of a script or software if you know of
one.
Just a WAG, but I'd try pointing it at an snmptrapd and then monitor
the log.  But maybe someone knows a better way.
