detecting up/down interfaces in Secureplatform

[cciesec2006]

Can someone show me how can send snmptrap from a SPLAT box to my
snmptrapd server if an interface in my SPLAT box bounces (up/down)?

I know how to do this Nokia Voyager IPSO I can see the trap get
to my snmptrap server but I do not know how to do this with Secureplatform?

Thanks.

I don't know how to do it either. Can you set the switch or router that it's connected to to send the trap? When one goes down so does the other.

Have you tried using snmpwalk from a system that you will use for polling your SecurePlatform based servers?

[cciesec2006]

I have no issues with using snmpwalk. that works fine. I also do not have
issues with making the swiches send snmptrap either. But that is besides
the point.

What I am trying to do here is to make the splat box send snmptrap
to my snmp trap receiver if something happen to the interface(s).
This can be done rather on Nokia and Cisco devices such as routers and
switches, how can I make it work with SPLAT?

Thanks.

As far as I know, SPLAT is incapable of that alone.

Indeed, CheckPoint advised to use special made RPM's by HP for their supported servers (for Instance HP DL 380 series). Thoses RPMs are hpasm or something like that, you will find a link on CheckPoint SPLAT's webPage.

Unfortunately, I it is NOT supported with HP servers running ILO2 ! Once again, this is written on CheckPoint's website but in very tiny characters ! So either you have an HP server with ILO (and not ILO2) or you won't be able to send traps. Or so I think...

not sure if it will help you or not

/usr/share/snmp/mibs

There is section in secureplatform documentation explaining how to add your own monitors.

For example

monitor -u me -o sysUpTime.0 -o hrSWRunName "high process memory"
hrSWRunPerfMem > 10000

(ifOperStatus) etc



Should be possible to enter this into snmpd.conf

there are always some dirty workarrounds in case you cant go via snmp it self with some shell scripting and executing snmp_trap explicitly when condition is met/not met.

i'm looking for something similar but instead of SNMP i'd rather receive an e-mail. i know how to script the sendmail command but am unsure the best way to use it to monitor the interfaces.

Hi All

I just want to know if I can monitor the performance of any Checkpoint prodoct (Splat) using SNMP. We have Solar Wind. In that I can see OID 1.3.6.1.4.1.2620 for checkpoint. Does that mean it can communicate any checkpoint installed device, in case the support for the same is enabled on the Checkpoint Machine.

Thanks
