configure sunMC 3.5 U 1 to forward traps to 3rd party NMS

Hi,

Basically I am trying to set trap forwarding to a NNM on the network from sunMC 3.5 Update 1.

I have followed all the directions in sunMC snmp FAQ and other threads on this forum but I am not able to set the trap destinations.

I have added topology object and set the community as user name. When I try to perform a snmpset operation the error I get is as follows:

$ ./snmpset -h sparc -p 162 -c user1 1.3.6.1.4.1.42.2.12.2.1.4.1.0 "OctetString" "{10.1.1.131}"

Request Id: 0

Error: noSuchName

Index: 1

Count: 1

Name: 1.3.6.1.4.1.42.2.12.2.1.4.1.0

Kind: OctetString

Value: "{10.1.1.131}"

I had exported the mib for above OIDs from the sunMC agent in interactive mode.. and after loading it on NNM machine and performing same set operation I get the same (noSuchName) error.

I also came across command es-trapdest which allows one to add multiple trap destinations from sunMC agent (and not sunMC server). However even using this method I am unable to receive any traps from agents.

Any help here is appreciated.

Other thread having same question is http://forum.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=15625&tstart=0

Thanks...

Nikhil.

Have you reviewed the options in the other thread? (i.e. Halcyon SNMP integration or HP integration packages). Both are off-the-shelf and if you can understand SunMC SNMP infrastructure you certainly wouldn't have trouble configuring either. If you've looked at both packages, what parts made you decide not to use them? Note: I work for Halcyon.

Building your own custom integration with direct traps may be difficult: the generic snmp faq doens't have all the info you need to do so (i.e. how to get NNM to go backwards to an Agent to request the details of an event like "Warning /op is 95% full" or "Critical: Power Supply 2 is Offline"). I'm not even sure how I'd go about it, and I've been using SunMC for years :)

Did you find a solution to this. I'm not really sure what you mean by adding a topolgy object?
