VARIABLES { managementServerName, nodeName,

eventID, alertText }

These are denoted in the tecad_snmp.cds file as follows:

3:ATTR(=,"managementServerName");

4:ATTR(=,"nodeName");

5:ATTR(=,"eventID");

6:ATTR(=,"alertText");

You would add the following entry to the tecad_snmp.cds file to map the trap variables to adapter variables:

MAP managementServerName=$V3; nodeName=$V4; eventID=$V5; alertText=$V6;

msg=PRINTF("The LANAlert File Server Agent on %s has set a priority 1 alert.",$V4);

These variable values are then mapped to event attributes defined in the tecad_snmp.baroc file. For example, the BAROC class definition for the lanalertFSA-NW3-s1event is as follows:

TEC_CLASS :

LANAlert_Trap ISA Specific_SNMP_Trap

DEFINES { source:default="LANA"; sub_source:default="NET"; severity:default="WARNING"; trapTime:INT32; specificTrap:INT32; managementServerName:STRING; nodeName:STRING; eventID:INT32; alertText:STRING;

};

END

TEC_CLASS :

lanalertFSA-NW3-s1 ISA LANAlert_Trap;

END

Object Identifier File Changes

The entry in the tecad_snmp.oid file for this trap is composed of the enterprise prefix plus the appropriate object identifiers (OID) plus the variable attribute OID. For example,

#nci

1.3.6.1.4.1.768

lanalert

1.3.6.1.4.1.768.2

lanalert-data

1.3.6.1.4.1.768.2.2

nodeName

1.3.6.1.4.1.768.2.2.2

eventID

1.3.6.1.4.1.768.2.2.3

alertText

1.3.6.1.4.1.768.2.2.5

managementServerName

1.3.6.1.4.1.768.2.2.6

Troubleshooting the SNMP Adapter

1.Use the following command to cold start the SNMP adapter: tecad_snmp [–d] [–cconfiguration_file]

The following are the arguments for the tecad_snmp command:
