Configuring TrapX to forward over Secure Domain Connector - Spectrum Server Tunnel

Products

• CA Spectrum

Issue/Introduction

Spectrum Server 10.4.1 and greater supports configuring TrapX to forward traps over the Secure Domain Connector - Spectrum Server Tunnel

Environment

Release :  10.4.1+

Component : Spectrum Core / SpectroSERVER

Resolution

The traps received by trapX on the Secure Domain Connector instance will only be processed by Spectrum if the device sending the trap is discovered under the Secure Domain Manager.

The SDC to SDM connection must be made to have this happen.

On the SDM the sdm.config file needs -trapx -remoteconnect <sdc ip>

On the SDC side, the sdc.config needs -accept <sdm ip>

Once done, you must go to the Landscape this was setup on and go to the Secure Domain Manager model and import the configuration.

The following parameter (trapX.config) will instruct trapX to place the traps onto the SDC tunnel:

filter * * * * * * tunnelfwd

Example of this implemented with logging:

filter * * * * * * file d:\trapx\logs\traps.log * 50000
filter * * * * * * tunnelfwd
