SNMP Trap to defined sink

Question

I am using snmp traps and i am able to send the traps from the commandline with snmptrap. There i need to define the sink for the snmp trap but the IP address is configurable via a configuration. The configuration writes the IP address in the snmp.conf file as trap2sink. Is there a possibility to call the snmptrap command without an ip address and that the trap is then automatically send to the defined sink in the config file?!

Answer 1

Try In your snmp.conf:

defTarget snmptrap domain ip:port

,where

• domain is protocol (tcp\udp\IPv6\ssh and so on)
• ip:port is IP and port (127.0.0.1:162)
