Simple Free SNMP Trap receiving software.

[Daniel Mckibbin]

   I just need a simple trap receiver (Windows XP compatible) for my home network. I have downloaded at least 15 different free products or trials and none of them have worked for me. I'm looking for something that is v3 compatible. Could someone look at my config as well to make sure it looks alright?

I filtered that traps out of the output, but traps have been enabled with snmp-server enable traps:

snmp-server group dmckibbin v3 priv match exact
snmp-server ifindex persist
snmp-server trap-source Loopback0
snmp-server source-interface informs Loopback0
snmp-server location ******************
snmp-server contact *******************
snmp-server host 172.16.1.66 inform version 3 priv dmckibbin

groupname: dmckibbin                        security model:v3 priv
readview : v1default                        writeview: <no writeview specified>
notifyview: *tv.FFFFFFFF.FFFFFFFF.FFFFFFFF0F
row status: active

User name: dmckibbin
Engine ID: 800000090300000D28E2C681
storage-type: nonvolatile        active access-list: SNMP_Access
Authentication Protocol: MD5
Privacy Protocol: DES
Group-name: dmckibbin

Standard IP access list SNMP_Access
    10 permit 172.16.1.66 (65238 matches)

Thanks,

Daniel

Well, free and simple, I like net-snmp's snmptrapd (http://net-snmp.sf.net).  I have never used it with Windows, though.  MG-SOFT offers a nice Windows trap receiver, but it isn't free (see http://www.mg-soft.si/tringer.html).  You can download and eval, however.

The config looks okay.  You don't need the "match exact" at the end of the group config, though.  Note, if you're going to use informs, you need to configure the SNMP manager's engineID as a remote engineID on your device.  With informs, the manager's engine is authoritative.

Thanks Joseph,

I'll give it a shot after work. I didn't add match exact on the end. Cisco did it for me .
