Configuring SNMP traps to use a source IP address

Hi all,

 

I am trying to configure some customs SNMP Traps but these are always sent through an ip address other than the management.

 

Even when i configure the snmp trap source ip address explicitly using modify /sys snmp trap-source , all traps are sent using a self ip as source.

 

I am using logger -p local0.warning "Pool /Common/web_pool443 member /Common/10.10.0.100:80 monitor status node down. [ was up for 0hr:1mins:33sec ]" to reproduce the snmp trap and i monitor traffic with tcpdump on all interfaces (including management interface) on port 162.

 

The version is 11.6 HF4

 

Any ideas?

      Default is the service interface if route added. Have you tried to add the management-route, please? Like: tmsh create sys management-route ntp-date network 10.190.1.1/32 gateway 10.190.128.1

      Well creat sys management-route gateway is configured and SNMP server reachable but I have the same query as why not management used as source . IF self IP is used then which self Ip is used.

      Unless the SNMP Manager is a connected network, it would use the self IP where the default route is defined. If you need to use a specific self IP, create a host route for the SNMP host that uses the layer 3 gateway of that self-IP.
