Hi Dave and Wes, Thank you for your suggestions! Please see my comments below:
<< a) configure the new element to send an INFORM notification rather than a trap. [Tony] It is a system requirement to support both Trap and Inform as defined by operator. << b) configure the new element to use an explicitly specified engineID << when sending traps, and configure snmptrapd with users that << also specify the same engineID. [Tony] Did you mean use a known engineID for subagent? The system has many elements, each containing a subagent. As a solution to this problem, I tried to use a known common engine ID by subagents in all elements. But my observation is that when two elements send notifications almost the same time (within 30 seconds), one of them is lost (snmptrapd does not log it). Not quite sure if this is because the engineID is the same for both notifications. But atleast when they are different, the problem is not seen. << If snmptrapd is a agentx subagent to snmpd, then you can send snmp SET requests to create new users to snmpd under the context name of "snmptrapd" to affect the snmptrapd's user table. [Tony] I am interested to know more about this. Could you please provide the MIB module and object/table to SET? Thank you!
