[Packetfence-users] Difficulty getting snmptrapd to work in PacketFence ZEN 1.8.7

[Kundert, R. <rku...@sp...>]

Greetings.  I hope someone can help me solve this puzzle so I can move along.

We are working to implement PacketFence for our campus but so far I have not been able to get the snmptrapd process to work for me.  The traps seem to be arriving at PacketFence as evidenced by "tcpdump -n -vv -i eth0 udp port 162".  However I never get anything in /usr/local/pf/logs/snmptrapd.log.  When I execute "snmptrapd -f -Lo -C -c /usr/local/pf/conf/snmptrapd.conf" and send traps I don't see a thing on my screen.

I suspect I'm missing some very fundamental piece.  Unfortunately my efforts so far to understand what I'm doing wrong have resulted in little more than frustration.  At this point I've hit a roadblock.

Thank you folks for any help you may be able to offer.
