I. Converting SNMP Traps

This feature converts SNMP traps, which are managed by NNM, into JP1 events. You can use this feature for integrated control over information about network failures, and the configuration and performance of the system.

The SNMP trap converter for JP1/Base supports the NNM version shown in the following tables.

NNM supported by the SNMP trap converter	Versions
HP Network Node Manager Starter Edition Software	7.5

To convert SNMP traps into JP1 events, the following requirements must be met:

• The OS used is one of the following:

  • Windows XP Professional

  • Windows Server 2003 (excluding Windows Server 2003 (x64))

  • HP-UX (IPF)

  • Solaris (Solaris (SPARC) global zone)

  You cannot use the SNMP trap converter in an operating system that does not support NNM (such as Windows Server 2008 and Linux).

• The value of the LANG environment variable for ovw (NNM GUI) matches the value for the environment where the ovstart command of NNM is executed.

  If the values do not match, SNMP traps might not be converted into JP1 events, or the traps might be converted into JP1 events different from those shown in the NNM alarms browser. For details, see the NNM documentation.
