  1. Message Source Configuration:SNMP Trap Interception

  2. Section Overview • SNMP Traps as a Message Source • SNMP Trap process on the Management Server • VPO Distributed Event Interception • Avoiding Duplicate Messages • SNMP Trap Configuration • Configuration GUI • Generating Traps/Events • Examples Message Source Configuration: SNMP Trap Interception

  3. SNMP Traps SNMPTrap SNMP Agent SNMP Manager Enterprise ID Generic Trap ID Specific Trap ID Varbind 1 …. Varbind n Managed Node Management Server Message Source Configuration: SNMP Trap Interception

  4. SNMP Trap Interception SNMP Agent VPO agent only SNMP Agent NNM and VPOworking inparallel SNMP Manager SNMP Agent Management Server NNM softwareonly SNMP Agent No NNM orVPO software Message Source Configuration: SNMP Trap Interception

  7. Distributed Event Interception: Benefits • Reduced Network Traffic and Management Server Workload through VPO-Specific Features for Local Processing • More attributes to suppress messages (e.g. SNMP Trap Variables) • Duplicate message suppression, local actions etc. • Event Correlation Services • Secure Communication between Agent and Management Server through DCE/RPC-Based Implementation • Authentication, Encryption • Flexible Management through VPO Flexible Manager Concepts • Follow-the-Sun, Competence Centers, Backup Manager Message Source Configuration: SNMP Trap Interception

  8. Distributed Event Interception: Configuration Supported Platforms: • all Platforms, where NNM is supported • Novell NetWare 4.1, 4.11, 5.0, 5.1 with NMA 2.1 installed Configuration Steps: • Configure Event Interception Template in Message Source Templates window and in Add SNMP Trap window. • Assign Event Interception Template to agents and distribute the templates. • If NNM is not to be used on agent for event interception (i.e. SNMP traps intercepted directly by opctrapi), then add the following line to file opcinfo: SNMP_SESSION_MODE NO_TRAPD • Restart the VPO agents Message Source Configuration: SNMP Trap Interception

  9. VPO Management Server opctrapi OV pmd OV pmd How to Avoid Duplicate Messages Problem Situation: • Node pepper • SNMP Destinations: • curry • nutmeg Original methodand showing howduplicates can occur SNMP Agent Node curry Node nutmeg opctrapi Using local interception and avoiding duplicates opctrapi OV pmd OV pmd opcmsga opcmsga Solution with VPO: • SNMP Agents must have only one trap destination configured • An VPO event interceptor runs on all possible SNMP destinations Message Source Configuration: SNMP Trap Interception

  10. SNMP Template Configuration Add Trap within Message Source Templates and define defaults Match/Suppress Condition Window Message Source Configuration: SNMP Trap Interception
