This depends on the network gear that is sending out the SNMP traps. The first
two deal with software/hardware reboots, the next two deal with network
links going down and then coming back up.

The 'OCCURS' expression in a rule works, like this:
Expression = (OCCURS (SNMP * linkDown)), - or
Expression = (OCCURS (SNMP NODE_A linkUp)), -
>If using FCL> GETEVENT , it will hold still and seems waiting for something.

Has the network equipment(s) been programmed to send SNMP traps to the IP
address of the DECmcc system? If so, you should be seeing the traps.

Thank you for your kindly reply.

So that means I also need to set up alarms for these traps? I thought that
they are just like events that I can detect from the Notification Service.

How can I do that? I post a note in SNMP note conference on setting up the
snmpd.conf, may be you can help. Following is the note I posted:
Many thanks.

I am trying to setup my DECstation to be managed by DECmcc. The DECmcc is
installed on VMS and with UCX installed with IP address 16.157.0.27.
Questions:
- On my DECstation, I tried to use snmpsetup to add an entry
community public 16.157.0.27 traps
but sinces there is already an entry community public 0.0.0.0 read-only,
the snmpd.conf becomes:
community public 16.157.0.27 read-only
community public 0.0.0.0 read-only
Why? Also, if I use vi to modify snmpd.conf is the following possible
community public 16.157.0.27 read-write
community public 16.157.0.27 read-only
community public 16.157.0.27 traps
Will the last superseed the previous?
Probably if someone can explain how this file work will help me out!!!
- My second question is about the community name. If in snmpd.conf, I use
a different community name than public, do I need to match it in the UCX?
How do I set the community name in UCX?

The last entry will augment the previous entries. You may want to
use a community name other than "public" for read-write access.
eg.
community public 0.0.0.0 read
community celery 16.157.0.27 read-write
community public 16.157.0.27 traps

For SET and SHOW operation you should specify the correct community
name using the "by password" qualifier in DECmcc. For traps, the
community name is essentially ignored.
