cfgrmcsnmp

Purpose

Controls the ability of RMC to receive traps on Linux® hosts.

Description

The cfgrmcsnmp command sets up or uninstalls RMC's ability to receive traps on Linux hosts. This command checks the appropriate daemons and either creates the /usr/share/snmp/snmptrapd.conf file or appends to it.

The trap2rmc command is configured when the cfgrmcsnmp command has been run. The snmptrapd.conf file is installed or appended to in the /usr/share/snmp/ directory. This configuration file contains entries to call trap2rmc when traps are received. The installation script also restarts the snmptrapd daemon, so once the installation is complete, trap logging will be done automatically without the user needing to set anything up. However, if the /usr/share/snmp/snmptrapd.conf file exists, it will be saved as a backup file (/usr/share/snmp/snmptrapd.conf.orig) and the administrator will need to configure the two configuration files manually to get the desired results. If the UCD-SNMP daemon (snmptrapd) has been removed before installation begins, the installation will not try to install the UCD-SNMP package.
