Testing the connection
3.5Testing the connection
To test the connection to a specific server, you can send a trap. Proceed as follows:
ÊSelect Test Trap from the context menu. The Test Trap window opens:
ÊEither select the server from the list under Serverlist, or
ÊEnter the IP address of the server. If you wish you can specify the server name.
ÊEither accept the default values for Community and Timeout or enter the relevant values in these fields.
ÊTo test the connection, click the Test trap button.
A window informs you of the connection status. To close this window, click the Close button.
INote for Linux
If you perform a connection test for the local host (127.0.0.1/localhost), the test trap times out. This is because the system is waiting for a response from the IP address of the local host to which ServerView Operations Manager made the request, whereas the actual response received by the trap comes from the real IP address of the server specified in the SNMP master agent.
