Configuring the
SNMP Trap Adapter
to forward notifications

SNMP Trap Adapter configuration and script files describes the files that you use to configure the
SNMP Trap Adapter
to forward notifications on to the
Global Manager
.
You can define up to 25 trap processing threads in your local trapd.conf file, which includes a definition and default value for THREADS. Running a multi-threaded trap adapter may eliminate the need to send these traps to a forwarder.
To configure the
SNMP Trap Adapter
, complete the following steps:
  1. Define the traps that you want to forward to the
    Global Manager
    in your local copy of trap_mgr.conf file.
  2. Set up the proper security between the
    Adapter Platform
    and the
    SNMP Trap Adapter
    . “EMC Smarts SNMP Trap Adapter security” on page 39 provides more information.
  3. Verify the port setting for the
    SNMP Trap Adapter
    . “Verifying the SNMP Trap Adapter port setting” on page 72 provides more information.
  4. Configure the
    SNMP Trap Adapter
    to start and stop automatically.
  5. Start the
    SNMP Trap Adapter
    . “Starting and stopping the SNMP Trap Adapter” on page 79 provides more information.
