Setting MacSNMP trapDestination (4/96)


I'm trying to specify the console where alarms are sent in MacSNMP, but I'm having a problem. On page 25 of the SNMP Admin Guide, it says to set trapDestination in the trapTable for the System Group of the Macintosh Agent. I can't figure out how to do this. What do I need to do?



We also tried to set trapDestination in the trapTable using the MacSNMP Admin application, but could not do it either. The variable value is not editable from the application. We checked with MacSNMP engineering and they told us you can only set it from a management console.



You need to copy the MIBs from the Administration disk onto the console. You will have to refer to the administration guide that came with your console for the instructions.



Normally from a UNIX workstation you can set trapDestination from the client by specifying the IP address. However, Macintosh is a multiprotocol workstation and we decided that the trapDestination has to be set from the management console.
