Hi Garry, list Spectrum is not capable of receiving traps via tcp. At least this is the answer I got from CA appr. 18 months ago. >From my point of view you have two choices: Convince the others to make the devices send snmp inform over udp, which is more reliable than simple trap.
Use some external trap gateway, that listens on tcp and forwards the traps. I tested net-snmp snmptrapd which basically would need the following configuration statements: <snip> # listen on tcp only snmpTrapdAddr tcp:162 # do not require auth disableAuthorization yes # forward all traps forward default <ip of spectroserver> </snip> It even should be possible to run this on the same maschine, as the daemon runs on the tcp port 162 only, while Spectrum uses the udp port 162 for trap reception. Make sure to address your primary and secondary SpectroSERVER, if using fault tolerance. You also should verify the correct mapping of traps to the corresponding device models.

We are running Spectrum 8.1 SP2 on Redhat Thanks * --To unsubscribe from spectrum, send email to [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> with the body: unsubscribe spectrum [email protected] ----------------------------------- Computacenter AG & Co. oHG, mit Sitz in Kerpen (Amtsgericht Köln HRA 18096) Vertretungsberechtigte Gesellschafter: Computacenter Aktiengesellschaft, mit Sitz in Köln (Amtsgericht Köln HRB 28384) Vorstand: Oliver Tuszik (Vorsitzender), Dr. Karsten Freihube, Hans-Georg Freitag, Frank Kottmann, Reiner Louis Aufsichtsrat: Michael Norris (Vorsitzender) Computacenter Management GmbH, mit Sitz in Köln (Amtsgericht Köln HRB 28284) Geschäftsführer: Ulrich Irnich, Jürgen Stauber Visit us on the Internet: http://www.computacenter.de Visit our Online-Shop: https://shop.computacenter.de This email is confidential.
