To handle snmp traps make sure your snmp setup of quagga works correctly as described in the quagga documentation in See SNMP Support.
The BGP4 mib will send traps on peer up/down events. These should be visible in your snmp logs with a message similar to:
‘snmpd[13733]: Got trap from peer on fd 14’
To react on these traps they should be handled by a trapsink. Configure your trapsink by adding the following lines to /etc/snmpd/snmpd.conf:
# send traps to the snmptrapd on localhost trapsink localhost
This will send all traps to an snmptrapd running on localhost. You can of course also use a dedicated management station to catch traps. Configure the snmptrapd daemon by adding the following line to /etc/snmpd/snmptrapd.conf:
traphandle .1.3.6.1.4.1.3317.1.2.2 /etc/snmp/snmptrap_handle.sh
This will use the bash script /etc/snmp/snmptrap_handle.sh to handle the BGP4 traps. To add traps for other protocol daemons, lookup their appropriate OID from their mib. (For additional information about which traps are supported by your mib, lookup the mib on http://www.oidview.com/mibs/detail.html).
Make sure snmptrapd is started.
The snmptrap_handle.sh script I personally use for handling BGP4 traps is below. You can of course do all sorts of things when handling traps, like sound a siren, have your display flash, etc., be creative ;).
