═══ 1. General SNMPTRAP Help ═══

The SNMP Trap monitor displays SNMP traps that are sent to your system by SNMP 
agents running on other systems.  These SNMP agents must be configured to make 
your system a destination for SNMP trap information. 

An SNMP trap is an event notification that is sent by an SNMP agent or 
subagent.  Examples of such events are 

o coldStart: Signifies that the SNMP agent is initializing itself such that MIB 
  objects can be altered. One case of this is a workstation reboot. 

o warmStart: Signifies that the SNMP agent is initializing itself such that MIB 
  objects are not altered. 

o linkDown: Indicates that an interface has changed from the up to the down 
  state. 

o linkUp: Indicates that an interface has changed from the down to the up 
  state. 

o authenticationFailure: Indicates that an SNMP message has been received that 
  is not properly authenticated. For the OS/2 SNMP agent, authentication means 
  that both the community name and source address have been verified. 

o egpNeighborLoss: Indicates that an EGP peer has been marked down. 

o enterpriseSpecific: Indicates that some other, privately defined, event has 
  occurred.  For example, using the SNMP agent DPI interface, SNMP subagents 
  can be created with enterprise specific traps. 

When an SNMP trap notification is received, if the trap monitor is active it 
will display the text of the notification.  Included in the notification is the 
community name and IP address of the agent reporting the trap, the object ID of 
the agent that generated the trap (this indicates what kind of agent sent the 
trap), the trap type, and the timestamp. 

Only one instance of SNMPTRAP can be active on your workstation at any one 
time. 

Trap monitoring can be turned on or off, and trap information can be logged to 
a file. 


═══ 2. Help for Listen for traps ═══

When the SNMP trap monitor is started, it immediately begins listening for 
traps.  This can be turned on or off by clicking on Listen for traps.  A check 
next to Listen for traps indicates that listening is on. Listen for traps is 
found in the Session menu of the SNMP trap monitor menu bar. 


═══ 3. Help for Clear ═══

The Clear function clears the SNMP trap monitor window. Clear is found in the 
Session menu of the SNMP trap monitor menu bar. 


═══ 4. Help for Log traps to a file ═══

This option, in the Options menu of the SNMP trap monitor menu bar, turns SNMP 
trap logging on or off. A check mark next to the option indicates that logging 
is on.  When logging is active, all incoming trap information is written to the 
file SNMPTRAP.LOG, in the ETC subdirectory of the workstation. 


═══ 5. Help for Save Options ═══

This menu item saves the current state of SNMP trap options, so that when the 
SNMP trap monitor is next started, it starts in the same state. At present, the 
only option that is saved is the state of trap logging.
