RE: unable to generate traps

Make sure you have you have in your configuration file (snmpd.conf) trapsink
trap2sink or informsink command with the proper IP Address.

Mske sure that the configuration file is read indeed (there are several
locations where snmpd.conf is read). 

If both are correct, it still might be a networking problem start a sniffer
(like ethereal) and see if the trap is sent or trying to be sent.

 

Common networking problems :

1.	ARP is not resolved --- You would see ARP request for the
destination address that are not resolved.
2.	Default Route is not defined properly on the machine. In this case
you'll see the trap sent twards a router that doesn't serve the destination
subnet.

 

 

Hope this helps,
