Re: Trapgend Daemon Not Starting - FIXED

["Ardino, Frank J" <Frank.Ardino@CIGNA.COM>]

That was it! I was missing the line from the snmpd.conf. Now the date of the
file was the same date I upgrade/migrated to comm. Server ver.5.
I guess the line  was deleted during the install process. ???
Trapgend has been running on my systems forever.

Any way it's fixed, thanks everyone for your help.

        Hmmm.  I agree that it is a community string problem but the two
files that must
        match are /etc/snmpd.conf and /etc/snmpd.peers.  So far as I know,
ovsnmp.conf
        plays no role here.

        I took a quick look and I see that when trapgend tries to connect it
gets a
        "simpleOpen" error with a "Bad Identity" message.  If memory serves
me, that
        means that "password" or "community string" which is in
/etc/snmpd.peers (which
        should be what trapgend uses) does not match what snmpd expects from
        /etc/snmpd.conf.  As shipped these should look like this:

        snmpd.peers
        --------------------
        trapgend 1.3.6.1.4.1.2.6.4.1  nv6000  # TME 10 NetView : trapgend

        snmpd.conf
        _____________
        smux   1.3.6.1.4.1.2.6.4.1  nv6000  # TME 10 NetView : trapgend

        The string "nv6000" is the community string or password which
trapgend must pass
        when he attempts to connect.
        Did your upgrade overwrite your snmpd.conf file perhaps?

        Have you checked the community string?
        If the community string in /etc/snmpd.conf is different from the one
in
        /usr/OV/conf/ovsnmp.conf then trapgend will not start.

        Benoit.
