Coexistence of UM-Client with another SNMP manager

      The SNMP managers receive the traps on a pre-defined port (port UDP 162) although a single process may be monitoring a UDP port such as SNMP-Trap 162. When UM-Client coexists on the same system with another SNMP manager, special organization is required. The SNMP manager must redirect the agent traps from the UPS to another UDP port. UM-Client must then be configured to receive the traps on this other UDP port.

      actions to be performed

      In this case, the installation of UM-Client must be completed by the following steps:

      • find a free UDP port number on the system.
      • modify the SNMP manager to redirect the content of the traps to the new UDP port of UM-Client (see the specific documentation of the SNMP manager concerned).
      • change the port number (TrapPort) in file umc_par (which is stored in the UM-Client installation directory).
