Capturing and diverting Traps.

rahulmittal87 · 12-11-2011, 03:57 AM

Hi,

Is it possible to capture traps sent on PORT:162 and then divert it to some specific list of IPs?
My Requirement is to have a same SNMP Trap to be sent to multiple IPs.

Many Thanks in advance.!!!

I believe you have Clients that will generate snmp traps at one network let's say 192.168.1.x
you have one gateway box sitting at 192.168.1.x[clients] and 10.1.1.x[Network management servers]

Your requirements?
clients need to send traps to 10.1.1.x

Answer
Since you have gateway box sitting at both networks.
Clients SNMP traps destination as 10.1.1.x
your clients boxes need to add static route
e.g
route add net 10.1.1.0/255.255.255.0 gw 192.168.1.1

I hope this will answer your question
