SNMP Event Translator

This new feature allows an administrator to specify SNMP events to be translated as SNMP traps. The frequency of event translation can also be specified, along with log file options.

A command line tool, Evntcmd.exe, or a user interface, Evntwin.exe, can be used for configuration. Both files, along with the event translator Evntagnt.dll, are created in the %SystemRoot%\system32 directory when the SNMP service is installed, and can be launched through a Windows 2000 command window.

The event translator uses the SNMP service to generate the trap. By default, no events are translated. For information about how to use and configure this utility, see the SNMP online documentation.
