Re: snmptrapd forwarding

Hi Brett,

The directive "traphandle <oid> <exe>" in snmptrapd.conf file will
invoke an executable <exe> if it receives a trap with OID <oid>.
The inputs to execuatble <exe> from snmptrapd is the ip adddress of
trap sender and variable binding. In executable you can put the logic
to read ip-address and variable-binding and you can use snmptrap
utility to send the trap to any manager.

One thing to note here is that input to executable from snmptrapd is
SNMPv2-style notification format,with SNMPv1 traps being converted as
per RFC 2576, before being passed to the execuatble.

In Snmpv1 trap apart from ipaddress of manger and var-binding,you have
to fields generic trap and specific trap. I don't exactly how to
determine these two fields.

For more info read snmptrapd.conf and snmptrapd.

Thanks,
