Asim> Dave, Thanks for the hints, they took me a long way and now I Asim> have started to hate are present trap sender's implementation. Net-SNMP's trap abstraction layer means you use a particular API for sending a notification PDU and the higher level functions send it to the *configured* list of trap/inform receivers using whatever SNMP version and credentials it was configured for. It is *much* more scalable than trying to do everything yourself. If you're looking for sending traps, see how it's done in agent/mibgroup/examples/notifications.c and follow that model (just the sending part; put the code anywhere you want of course ) Asim> One way of sending traps to multiple Managers would be to have Asim> an N number of managers IPs defined for each agent like for Asim> instance we say that our agent sends traps to four managers at Asim> the most and then the agent is configured to send traps to Asim> manager Ip A, B , C and D. This can be done right? I m pretty Asim> confident that this can be done. Just need a second advise. If you follow the method described above, it doesn't matter how many destinations there are and it's a run-time configuration to set them up. Asim> - We are not using Net-snmp's trap sending API at the moment. And that's your problem ;-) Asim> we are sending snmp version 1 traps. Which can be done with our APIs just fine, FYI. (and in fact our trap sending APIs auto-convert between different trap version formats for you so there is still 1 API call to send a trap to any type of receiver) If you want to use the v1 APIs, look into the functions in include/net-snmp/agent/agent_trap.h file which allow you to send v1 traps (and if a v2c or v3 receiver is configured, it'll auto-convert it for you before sending it to the never one). -- Wes Hardaker Sparta, Inc. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the JBoss Inc.
