Requirement to set SNMP Traps Receiver on APC 1500

[Anonymous user]

I am trying to setup SNMP traps receiver on APC 1500 so the unit can send SNMP trap to HPOV server. I configure DNS and perform SNMP trap receiver testing and I see message SNMP traps send successfully. However I never receive notification on HPOV server.

Before I chase down network team to see if firewall is the root cause, can anyone tell me what requirement to setup SNMP trap receiver send successfully?

Thanks.

if the test trap is working, i am not sure what else you need. how are you testing to see if traps are received on your NMS (the HPOV server)?

I tested by pressing test button on the UPS website then I get message that the trap send successfully. However I don't see the notification on the HPOV server. Network team told me that the network is wide open since it is a lab network.

I am thinking to connect my laptop and simulate sending snmp trap from my laptop but I don't know what program to use.

Hello Indo,

Here in our lab I'm using GetIf to send traps to the network management card and to receive traps I'm using a program called Trap Receiver. To the best of my knowledge these two programs are for free.

Thank you for your help, Jon. I use Getif and Trap Receiver softwares and I am able to confirm that the firewall doesn't block the port.
