NMIS is a powerful network management system which is open source and free for a highly capable tool.

Setup SNMP Trap Daemon

NMIS 8.4.1 has included some Cisco and Generic MIBS and added the ability to view the SNMP traps in the NMIS logging tool.

You will need to copy the options file to the right location and restart the daemon.

cp /usr/local/nmis8/install/snmptrapd.options /etc/sysconfig/snmptrapd 
service snmptrapd restart

You can test the MIB resolution with this command

snmptranslate -m ALL -M /usr/local/nmis8/mibs/traps 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.43.1.1.6.1.5.34

Which should result in:

CISCO-CONFIG-MAN-MIB::ccmHistoryEventConfigDestination.34

Configure a Cisco Router to Send Traps

If the IP address of your NMIS server is 192.168.1.7 and you want to use the community string public, these are the commands you need to send traps.

snmp-server host 192.168.1.7 version 2c public 

or to use SNMP v2c Informs

snmp-server host 192.168.1.7 informs version 2c public 

To enable all traps

snmp-server enable traps
