I. Converting SNMP Traps

JP1/Base provides an SNMP trap converter, which converts SNMP traps 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.

Table I‒1: NNM versions supported in Solaris (SPARC)

NNM supported by the SNMP trap converter	Versions
JP1/Cm2/NNM Network Node Manager	07-10
JP1/Cm2/NNM Network Node Manager Starter Edition Enterprise	08-00 and 08-10
JP1/Cm2/NNM Network Node Manager Starter Edition 250	08-00 and 08-10
HP Network Node Manager Starter Edition Software	7.5

Table I‒2: NNM versions supported in HP-UX (IPF)

NNM supported by the SNMP trap converter	Versions
JP1/Cm2/NNM Network Node Manager Starter Edition Enterprise	08-00 and 08-10
JP1/Cm2/NNM Network Node Manager Starter Edition 250	08-00 and 08-10
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:

  • 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 2012 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.
