@node Handling SNMP Traps
@section Handling SNMP Traps

To handle snmp traps make sure your snmp setup of quagga works
correctly as described in the quagga documentation in @xref{SNMP Support}.

The BGP4 mib will send traps on peer up/down events. These should be
visible in your snmp logs with a message similar to:

@samp{snmpd[13733]: Got trap from peer on fd 14}

To react on these traps they should be handled by a trapsink. Configure
your trapsink by adding the following lines to @file{/etc/snmpd/snmpd.conf}:

@example
  # send traps to the snmptrapd on localhost
  trapsink localhost
@end example

This will send all traps to an snmptrapd running on localhost. You can
of course also use a dedicated management station to catch traps.
Configure the snmptrapd daemon by adding the following line to
@file{/etc/snmpd/snmptrapd.conf}:

@c Documentation contributed by Jeroen Simonetti, jsimonetti@denit.net

@example
  traphandle .1.3.6.1.4.1.3317.1.2.2 /etc/snmp/snmptrap_handle.sh
@end example

This will use the bash script @file{/etc/snmp/snmptrap_handle.sh} to handle
the BGP4 traps. To add traps for other protocol daemons, lookup their
appropriate OID from their mib. (For additional information about which
traps are supported by your mib, lookup the mib on
@uref{http://www.oidview.com/mibs/detail.html}).

Make sure snmptrapd is started.

The snmptrap_handle.sh script I personally use for handling BGP4 traps
is below. You can of course do all sorts of things when handling traps,
like sound a siren, have your display flash, etc., be creative ;).
