5211.0. "Forwarding SNMP traps - Possible?" by CUJO::HILL (Dan Hill-Net.Mgt.-Customer Resident) Wed Jun 16 1993 21:43

    Is there a mechanism in place to receive SNMP traps and forward them to
    another target node?

	In order to forward a trap, the SNMP AM will have to receive it
	first and regenerate it. Thus the management station will also have
	to act as an agent (a concept not uncommon in SNMP V2.0). Couldn't
	you configure the SNMP agent to send traps to multiple destinations?
	(Your requirements are probably more complex, I guess).

    Rahul,
    
    As we discussed earlier, there may be a possibility of porting the CMU
    trap generator to VMS; however, it is more likely that my customer will
    opt for a SUN configured with two Ethernet controllers and
    capturing/forwarding traps using a modified CMU trap generator.
    
    Wish we had this capability now.
    
    -Thanks, 
     Dan
