Re: snmp configuration question?????

["Joseph R Smith" <jrsmith@us.ibm.com>]

It has been my experience that SNMP traps generated by AIX will reflect the
value of the hostid. By default, the hostid is set in /etc/rc.net using the
following command

/usr/sbin/hostid `hostname`

I suppose you could hardcode the value of hostid or make sure `hostname`
returns a value that resolves to the correct IP address.

Does anyone know a way to configure an AIX snmp agent
to send traps only as a particular ip (origin).  I
suspect it is a simple entry in the snmpd.conf file,
like address 10.160.1.23 or something along those
lines.  The customer site I am at uses "Round Robin"
(i am not big fan) so bascially one event could come
in with origin1 ...open trouble ticket.....5 minutes
later, the same event comes in with origin2 (same
box)...opens new trouble ticket instead of treating as
duplicate.  To avoid TEC work, if we could bind to one
interface at the agent level, that should correct our
problem and perhaps save a lot of on going work.

thanks,

Eric
