Thanks for all the feedback. Immediately after I sent the email I figured out that I can change the trip value to the normal value. Once I did this the traps started cranking up on our traphost. I was then able to view the trap message on our traphost and create notification script by replacing normal values for the actual trip values.

Thanks

You might get the snmpd stuff off the net and send some "fake" traps using that. They won't actually be from your filer, but, it should allow you to test what happens when the traps arrive.

here's the first bit of the "snmptrap" man page out of that package.

SNMPTRAP(1) SNMPTRAP(1)

NAME snmptrap, snmpinform - sends an SNMP trap to a manager
