NimbostratusConfiguring SNMP traps to use a source IP address
Hi all,
I am trying to configure some customs SNMP Traps but these are always sent through an ip address other than the management.
Even when i configure the snmp trap source ip address explicitly using modify /sys snmp trap-source , all traps are sent using a self ip as source.
I am using logger -p local0.warning "Pool /Common/web_pool443 member /Common/10.10.0.100:80 monitor status node down. [ was up for 0hr:1mins:33sec ]" to reproduce the snmp trap and i monitor traffic with tcpdump on all interfaces (including management interface) on port 162.
The version is 11.6 HF4
Any ideas?
Nick_Simos_6822Hello,
Has anybody found a solution?
Andras_Kis-SzabDefault is the service interface if route added. Have you tried to add the management-route, please? Like: tmsh create sys management-route ntp-date network 10.190.1.1/32 gateway 10.190.128.1- Deep_287674
Well creat sys management-route gateway is configured and SNMP server reachable but I have the same query as why not management used as source . IF self IP is used then which self Ip is used.

Unless the SNMP Manager is a connected network, it would use the self IP where the default route is defined. If you need to use a specific self IP, create a host route for the SNMP host that uses the layer 3 gateway of that self-IP.
