Hi,
I originally posted this question under the Solaris forum, so appologies in advance for duplicating the effort.
My Quesiton:
Have a Sparc system running 5.8.
I want my Sparc system to send a cold start trap to 192.168.1.19 when it reboots, but it is not.
I added "trap 192.168.1.19" to the configuration in /etc/snmp/conf/snmpd.conf
I've restarted /etc/init.d/init.snmpdx but this does not help.
I would expect the system to send a Cold Start trap when the SNMP daemon is restarted, but I never see a trap leave the system (using Snoop).
What am I missing?
Many thanks in advance for your help!

it's just because when looking at the RFC it is ambiguous when the cold start trap will be send. Is the agent referring to the snmpagent or the device being monitored (your server)? When it's the latter, snmp-agent might be looking at the actual 'uptime' to decide when to send the trap...
