Environment

Novell NetWare 6.5 Support Pack 7
Novell NetWare 6.5 Support Pack 6
Novell NetWare 6.5 Support Pack 5
Novell ZENworks 7 Server Management Support Pack 1 - ZSM7 SP1 Management and Monitoring Service

Situation

SNMP traps are not being sent anymore to the site server, or other SNMP management servers.
The traptarg.cfg has been changed.

Resolution

Every destination in the traptarg.cfg should be proceeded with a space.

Under some circumstances (mostly when traps do not appear to be sent, for whatever reasons), the loopback address 127.0.0.1 may need to be uncommented for the local server (TCPCON, Display Local Traps) to see the SNMP traps being sent, or for traces to pick up the SNMP traffic.

Additional Information

For the traptarg.cfg to be reread, the server needs to be restarted (see TID10020405).
