Re: trapsink2 - example\notification.c

Thanks Dave,
 
I've made the suggested corrections.  For the IP address, I changed it to localhost instead.  So, it reads:  (note: trapsink2 on my email was a typo)
 
trap2sink   localhost:162   secret

I re-started my agent, and I no longer see the warning message.  I also started the trap listener, snmptrapd

the snmpd.log shows that the trap is being sent, but some how I don't see it in the stdout.
 
the log output reads:
 
llctrap: Initializing, setting callback alarm
NET-SNMP version 5.6rc1
llctrap: sending trap 1
 
the trap sould be sent every 30 sec, but I only see one trap sent.  I also check that snmpd and snmptrapd are still runing.
 
Am I missing something here?
 
Thanks!!

First of all - this is a warning, not an error.

Secondly, the config directive is "trap2sink", not "trapsink2"
This should be generating an error message.

Thirdly, port '161' is typically used by an agent to listen for
SNMP information requests (GET* and SET).
It is *not* normally used by notification receivers (e.g. snmptrapd)


It would be more usual to have

    trap2sink   192.168.255.140   secret   162

or better

    trap2sink   192.168.255.140:162   secret

or better (since 162 is the default anyway)

    trap2sink   192.168.255.140   secret
