Making trap2sink non-static

[Thomas Andrews]

Hi,

I need to be able to change the trap sink IP address dynamically.
Currently it is in /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf:

trap2sink 192.168.2.1 public

I understand that I can possibly update the config file and then make
snmpd re-read it but I would prefer something a bit more "elegant" if
possible. Any suggestions?

Many thanks,
Thomas

Use DNS, then you can set the IP address to whatever you like without having to worry about restarting SNMPd every time it changes. This does mean reliance on a DNS server being available, unless you then set it in your hosts file.

Cheers,
David
