snmpgtw
SNMP Gateway

The snmp gateway converts Nimsoft alarms to SNMP-TRAP messages.

It will transform Nimsoft alarm messages to SNMP-TRAP messages readable by any SNMP based event manager. A predefined set of profiles exists for transforming the Nimsoft alarm message to some well-known event managers, such as HP-OpenView's Network Node Manager, CA Unicenter-TNG and BMC CommandPost.

Configuration

Most SNMP based event managers have capabilities of defining filters based on the incoming object identifier (OID) and the trap information.  The Nimsoft SNMP gateway is capable of mapping the various severity levels to enterprise specific trap types.  This makes it possible to define a number of trap-definitions on the event manager side to recognize the various severity levels.


Note

SNMPGtw v1.11 and above support sending traps with trap_type 0. Due to this, all the pre-configured profiles with traps mapped to '0' start sending traps with trap_type 0.
If traps with trap_type 0 are not required, users need to modify the configured profiles manually. Please refer the probe documentation for more details.
