[RHEL 5.4] 'linkUpDownNotifications' doesn't behave as described in the snmpd.conf man-page
Issue
- "linkUpDownNotifications" doesn't behave as described in the snmpd.conf man-page. The man-page says as follows:
linkUpDownNotifications yes
will configure the Event MIB tables to monitor the ifTable for network interfaces
being taken up or down, and triggering a linkUp or linkDown notification as appro-
priate.This is exactly equivalent to the configuration:
notificationEvent linkUpTrap linkUp ifIndex ifAdminStatus ifOperStatus
notificationEvent linkDownTrap linkDown ifIndex ifAdminStatus ifOperStatusmonitor -r 60 -e linkUpTrap "Generate linkUp" ifOperStatus != 2
monitor -r 60 -e linkDownTrap "Generate linkDown" ifOperStatus == 2
Environment
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.4
- net-snmp-5.3.2.2-9.el5
- /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf has "linkUpDownNotifications yes"
