Trap adapter
configuration file: trapd.conf
The trapd.conf file, located in
the BASEDIR/smarts/conf/trapd directory of all
VMware Smart Assurance
product installations, is a global configuration file.
It is used to configure most
VMware Smart Assurance
built-in trap receivers and most trap adapters
(sm_trapd). Only the PORT parameter in this file is applicable to built-in trap
receivers because the built-in trap receivers are configured to receive and
parse traps, but not to forward traps. The other parameters in the file are
applicable for configuring trap adapters to forward traps.
The built-in trap receiver for
is not controlled by the trapd.conf file. The only
user-configurable control for the built-in trap receiver is the
“TrapPort = 0” parameter line
in the bgp.conf and ospf.conf files.
Configuration directory for a trap
exploder shows the trap exploder™s configuration directory, in the
installation area, and the trap exploder™s trapd.conf
file. A trapd.conf file in the local area takes precedence over the original
trapd.conf file, which contains the installed defaults. A seedfile is required
only if the trap exploder is to process SNMPv3 traps.
