TrapX not filtering out ip address as expected

Products

• Network Observability
• Spectrum

Issue/Introduction

We are using TrapX with Spectrum. We have configured a filter to filter out a single ip address as follows:

filter * * * * * * file /opt/CA/SDMConnector/trapx.log *
filter * * xxx\.xxx\.x\.x * * * break
filter * * * * * * forward xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

However, the trap is still forwarded to Spectrum instead of being dropped by TrapX.

Cause

Defect in the way the IPaddress was being processed.

Resolution

The fix for this issue is included in DX NetOps Spectrum 24.3.7 and above.

• Symptom:

   Users have installed SDC TrapX and are trying to filter traps from an agent's IP address. However, the filter is not working for the agent address in SDC TrapX when processing SNMPv1 traps.

   

  Resolution:

   With this fix, Spectrum implements the required code changes to ensure that the filter now works for the agent address in SDC TrapX for processing SNMPv1.
