IBM Tivoli Directory Integrator
This Connector listens for SNMP traps sent on the network and returns
an entry with the name and values for all elements in an SNMP PDU.
Notes:
- In Client mode, a request is retried 5 times with increasing
intervals; the retry waiting period doubles on every retry, starting
with 5 seconds. Timeout occurs if no answer is received.
- If we want to send SNMP Traps, the system.snmpTrap() method
is available.
- The SNMP Connector does not support the Advanced Link Criteria
(see "Advanced link criteria" in IBM TDI V7.1 Users Guide).
The Connector needs the following parameters:
- Community String
- Use public to test the Connector.
- Mode
- Trap Listener or Client. The Client mode can use Connectors
in AddOnly mode (SNMP Set), Lookup mode (SNMP Get) or Iterator mode
(Walk).
Trap listener can only Iterate, listening to traps on the
local host.
- SNMP Trap Port
- Port in Trap mode. Unused in Client mode.
- Trap wait timeout
- Timeout in Trap mode. The number of milliseconds to wait for
the next Protocol Data Unit (PDU). If value is zero or less, the Connector
waits forever.
- SNMP Host (for get)
- Only used for Get in Client mode. Not used in Trap mode.
- SNMP Port
- Client port (for client mode). Not used in Trap mode.
- SNMP Walk OID (iterate)
- Used only in Client mode, Iterator Connector. Indicates the
OID tree to walk.
- SNMP Version
- The default version for get/walk is the Client mode. Unused
in trap mode.
- Detailed Log
- If this parameter is checked, more detailed log messages are
generated.
Link Criteria are treated differently for this Connector.
In Lookup mode, the connector performs a get request returning the oid/value for the requested oid. The link criteria
specifies oid, as well as server, port and version. An example
link criterion might be "oid" = "1.1.1.1.1.1.1".
