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,

Shuki

without any errors ....... I could poll ...n do snmpwalk,snmpget all these
tools r working fine locally n also remotely......now my concern is about
trapping them .... I am unable to trap ..i am not getting any errors too

When I checked the log fail its just saying net-snmp 5.2.1 is started ...but
not trapping any messages...... with the same configuration I could generate
traps on another machine ....but only on this system I was unable to install
initially n when I did that ,its not generating any traps......I checked
with the other server many times n everything works fine with it ...i could
see the traps in the log... n its not working here......I need to generate
traps n submit my project ASAP n I am struck.....pls help me....
