I am currently looking into more configurable alternatives than the commercial trap forwarding software we are using and so I am trying to use net-snmp in the lab for a proof of concept.
Basically I am trying to create a trapmanager that will listen for the traps, log them, then forward traps based on oid to various network management systems. The forwarded traps though need to keep the originating trap source. This test is running on windows2k. So far traps are being received and logged fine. Trap Forwarding is working as well but only if I use a 'forward default <destination>' entry in the config file. I have tried specifying auth traps to a destination host but nothing is ever sent (although when using the default rule the auth traps are forwarded). I have tried the following formats: Forward SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.311.1.1.3.1.2 x.x.x.x forward .1.3.6.1.4.1.311.1.1.3.1.2 x.x.x.x forward .1.3.6.1.4.1.9.5.28 x.x.x.x forward 1.3.6.1.4.1.311.1.1.3.1.2 x.x.x.x forward 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.5.28 x.x.x.x forward \.1\.3\.6\.1\.4\.1\.311\.1\.1\.3\.1\.2 x.x.x.x forward \.1\.3\.6\.1\.4\.1\.9\.5\.28 x.x.x.x forward 1\.3\.6\.1\.4\.1\.311\.1\.1\.3\.1\.2 x.x.x.x forward 1\.3\.6\.1\.4\.1\.9\.5\.28 x.x.x.x I have logging enabled and the trap does come in, and is processed just never forwarded unless I forward it all. Next question is also with trapforwarding and the agent source address. Forwarded traps lose the originating source. Is there a flag to have forwarded traps keep their origination point? If not then I suspect I will be using Perl to rewrite it if possible or pass the source as a varbind. Third question is also with the forwarding rule and OIDs. Can regex'es be used for the oid? Something like ?.?.?.?.4.* ?
