Adaptive Server generates the SNMP message and the SNMP network client receives it. Reception might be either passive, like receiving an SNMP trap, or active, like querying the UAF SNMP service for Adaptive Server messages. Successful configuration ensures that the components communicating Adaptive Server messages are running, and that the configuration values between components match.
For example, the SNMP client cannot receive a trap on port 49152 if the UAF SNMP service is not configured to send the trap on that port. When you configure Adaptive Server, consider these points:
Which SNMP network client am I connecting to Adaptive Server?
Is the default port for the UAF SNMP appropriate for my SNMP network client to use for contacting the UAF SNMP service?
Is the default port number for the UAF SNMP traps an appropriate port number for my SNMP network client to use for listening to traps?
Is the default port number for the UAF TDS service listener an appropriate port number for my SNMP network client to use for for contacting UAF through TDS?
The recommended UAF TDS server name in the Directory Services file, interface or sql.ini, is “<hostname>_UAF.” Is this the correct naming convention to follow? (This naming convention is the one used by Adaptive Server when naming its servers.)
How much SNMP security do I need? Specifically, should I change the community name, the user name, or the pass phrase? Should I add a privacy pass phrase? Do I want the message contents to be encrypted?
Verify that all the following steps are complete when you configure Adaptive Server to generate these messages.
Configuring Adaptive Server to generate SNMP notifications
Start Adaptive Server.
Activate Component Integration Services (CIS) in Adaptive Server.
Start Unified Agent.
Install and configure Unified Agent SNMP and TDS services.
Install the Adaptive Server SNMP Agent Plug-in.
Make sure the UAF TDS service is identified in the Adaptive Server interfaces file.
Verify that an authenticated and authorized user name and password has been assigned to the Open Client connection.
