Configuring an SNMP Trap Receiver
TDV does not distribute an SNMP Trap Receiver. The following instructions are provided as a guideline. The actual steps that you need to perform will differ depending on the product that you choose to use.
To view and verify the SNMP traps
1. Download and install an SNMP Trap Receiver. for example, iReasoning MIB Browser Free Personal Edition.
2. Launch the program and load the TDV MIB.
For example in iReasoning, navigate to File > load MIB and select <TDV_install_dir>\apps\server\CompositeSoftware-MIB.mib.
3. View the traps.
For example in iReasoning, navigate to the Tools > Trap Receiver menu and open the Trap Receiver tab at the right.
4. Locate the trap filter in your trap receiver tool and specify the port number to listen to.
This will be the same port that you will specify in TDV under Logging > SNMP > Trap Port so that TDV can send the trap to this port.
For example in iReasoning, in the Trap Filter specify the port you want to listen to receive the traps. Because of permissions issues, you might want to set this to something greater than 1024, like 5000.
5. Start the trap receiver.
6. To test the trap receiver, trigger a captured event in TDV
