SNMP Traps and DCNM 6.1(2)

[Pol Bettinger]

Hello Everyone,

I have DCNM 6.1(2) installed on a Windows Server 2008 R2 to monitor and manage 4 Nexus 7018 (12VDC's).

I currently have one problem left. All snmp traps send from the Nexus Switches are all dropped and none processed, and i currently rely on the syslog messages, but would prefer the snmp traps.

I start wondering if the snmp traps are only for SAN devices?

Or If I am doing something totally wrong. Port for the traps is 2162. Discovery via snmpv3 works... Traps are sent and recieved but dropped.

Perhaps someone could shed some light into this.

Thanks

Pol

Hi,

Yes, DCNM for SAN supports forwarding of alerts using Cisco Call Home, EMC Call Home, email, and Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) traps.

DCNM LAN supprts Syslog and E-Mail.

In other words SNMP Traps from Nexus switches are not processed and are dropped. Only  SNMP traps from SAN Devices are processed. Correct?

[ngoldwat]

That is correct.
