Hi Dave, Thanks for the reply. We have already configured the trap sink in snmpd.conf. And it works fine. But we need to know whether once the VM comes up in new network the SNMP agent on it should automatically find out the SNMP server in the local network and send a trap to it. Is this possible...?

Look at the file 'snmpd.conf' This should include a line starting with one of the tokens "trapsink" or "trap2sink" or "informsink" or "trapsession". This line will include an IP address - change this to the new management server, and restart the agent. That will then direct traps to the new server. If you want to keep sending traps to the old location as well, then duplicate the line and change the IP address in second version. If there are two entries, then the agent will send two traps. [And if you've got both 'trapsink' AND 'trap2sink' AND 'informsink' listed in the snmpd.conf file, then a) you haven't read the documentation carefully enough, and b) you will be getting three copies of every trap. Three lines, three traps.
