Configuring the SNMP version for sending SNMP traps

The default SNMP version through which SNMP traps are sent in OpsCenter is SNMPv2c. However, this SNMP version can be changed by modifying a configuration file.

The following procedure explains how to configure the default SNMP version on Windows and UNIX.

To configure the SNMP version for sending SNMP traps on Windows

  1. On the OpsCenter server host, stop all the OpsCenter services.

    INSTALL_PATH\server\bin\opsadmin.bat stop

  2. Navigate to INSTALL_PATH\OpsCenter\server\config directory and open the nm.conf file.

    The file shows the following entry:

    nm.trapVersion=v2c

    Modify the value of nm.trapVersion from v2c to v1 (for SNMPv1) or v3 (for SNMPv3).

  3. Save the nm.conf file after making the changes.
  4. Restart all OpsCenter services:

    INSTALL_PATH\OpsCenter\server\bin\opsadmin.bat start

To configure the SNMP version for sending SNMP traps on UNIX

  1. On the OpsCenter server host, stop all the OpsCenter services:

    <INSTALL_PATH>/SYMCOpsCenterServer/bin/opsadmin.sh stop

  2. Navigate to the OpsCenter configuration directory:

    cd <INSTALL_PATH>/SYMCOpsCenterServer/config

  3. Open the nm.conf file. The file shows the following entry:

    nm.trapVersion="v2c"

    Modify the value of nm.trapVersion from v2c to v1 (for SNMPv1) or v3 (for SNMPv3).

  4. Save the nm.conf file after making the changes.
  5. Restart all OpsCenter services:

    <INSTALL_PATH>/SYMCOpsCenterServer/bin/opsadmin.sh start
