Re: Snmptrap not forwarding on proper port

Hey Dave,

Good afternoon. Have taken your suggestions which resolved my issue. Also, how do I preserve the original IP address that sent the trap? Not sure of the syntax to use in the snmptrapd.conf file since ./snmptradd start -%a or -%A did not work. Thanks.

Sincerely,
George

All of the data generated in your IT infrastructure is seriously valuable.
Why? It contains a definitive record of application performance, security 
threats, fraudulent activity, and more. Splunk takes this data and makes 
sense of it. IT sense. And common sense.
