[snmp] RE: SNMP proxy - trap forwarding

[Nookala, Sridevi (Sridevi)]

Dear westhawk,

 

Can somebody also enlighten me if the application acting as a proxy
forwarder should tag in additional varbinds other than those varbinds
that came in the original trap.

Any links/pointers to RFC's would be great

 

-thx,

Sri

Dear westhawk team,

 

We use westhawk stack for northbound trap forwarding.

 

My server listens for traps from multiple agents.

 

Some forward v1 and some v2

 

My server acts as a proxy. I simply pass thru v1 / v2 traps to
northbound destinations.

 

By pass thru I mean I make a new v1trappdu for incoming v1 and new v2
trap pdu for incoming v2.

 

I copy the varbinds from in the incoming trap.

 

In this process, the Source of the trap is changed to my Server's IP
address.

 

Folks /Customers at the northbound don't want to see the proxy ip
address and want to see the actual agent address.

 

How can I achieve this with the stack ? westhawk api

 

I hope my question is clear

 

This is urgent and any response will be greatly valued and welcomed.

 

The platform is SUN solaris 9 and stack version is snmp 4.13

 

-thx,

Sri
