Hi,
We have an appliance that sends out traps without including a community string.
Is it possible to process these in dataminer ?
With the generic trap receiver protocol one has to provide a community string (can not be left balnk).
Is there a way to make traps without community string still arrive in the element ?
Thanks in advance.
Hi Hans,
I made a small test and the traps are processed by the connector 'Generic Trap Receiver', regardless of the community string. Below the element settings:
Using Net-SNMP tools, I sent the following trap:
snmptrap -v 1 -c nopublic 10.11.12.13 '1.3.6.1.4.35416' '10.11.12.13 6 2 '55' 1.3.6.1.4.35416.2.2.2.3.1.4.70.28 i 10
The community string is 'nopublic'. As you can see in the screenshot below, the trap is processed by the element:
I also tested using SNMPv2 traps and I can confirm that the traps are also processed.
Hope it helps.
