SNMP trap problem
I have a problem with SNMP traps.
I generate them according to sol11127 and try tcpdump according to sol411 but to no avail.
All that increases is the "packets received by filter".
From what i read this field is OS specific so it doesn't help me.
I am using these traps :
logger -p local0.notice "01070728:5: Node x.x.x.x monitor status up."
My tcpdump command looks like this :
tcpdump -vvi eth0 udp port 162
Our SNMP is set without a source so I assume the default mgmt interface is used , but just in case I did one tcpdump with no interface mentioned just the port , same result.
The last trap was confirmed working on a different BIG-IP system by one of my colleagues.
Am I doing something wrong ?
Did I choose some bad trap codes ? Or am I not using proper tcpdump options ?
Please let me know.
- nitassEmployeehave you tried interface 0.0?
