==Summary==
This chapter is a guide on configuring SNMP Trap listening service on Linux OS.
===Preconditions===
To configure Trap listening service these packages are required: ''' snmp ''', '''snmpd''', '''snmptt''', '''snmptrapd'''.
To install these packages run command for each package:
$ sudo apt install <package_name>
'''Important note:''' before continuing make sure that SNMP Trap package is configured. SNMP configuration example can be found here [[SNMP configuration example]].
===Editing configuration files===
====Snmpd.conf====
This is not required for Trap listening service, but with this configuration '''snmpget''' command will be able to establish connection without requiring port number in the command line.
Edit snmpd.conf file, it can be found in ''' ''/etc/snmp/'' '''directory. Example of the command:
$ sudo nano /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf
Find a line containing '''"agenAddress udp:127.0.0.1:161"''' and comment it by adding '''#''' symbol at the beginning of the line. Uncomment line '''"agenAddress udp:161,udp6[::1]:161"'''. If you chose diferent SNMP port change '''161''' into your chosen port. '''Make sure to use exactly the same port as in SNMP package configuration on Teltonika device'''.

====Snmptrapd.conf====
This is required to specify community you described in SNMP Trap package configuration, to describe Trap port and how to handle caught Trap messages.
Edit snmptrapd.conf file, it can be found in ''' ''/etc/snmp/'' ''' directory. Example of the command:
$ sudo nano /etc/snmp/snmptrapd.conf
Add these lines at the beginning of the file:
'''authcommunity log,execute,net ''public'' '''
'''snmpTrapdAddr udp:''1110'' '''
'''traphandle default /usr/sbin/snmptt'''
In the first line change ''' ''public'' ''' to your community group described in SNMP Trap package configuration. In the second line change ''' ''1110'' ''' port number to your described port number in SNMP Trap package of the Teltonika device.
'''Also''' you can change first line to '''disableAuthorization yes'''. This will disable all authorizations and any group will be able to send traps to the SNMP Manager.

====Creating Trap listening service====
This is required for launching Trap listening service with extra configurations, we will use it to describe the log file, where all traps will be recorded.
Use this command:
$ sudo systemctl edit snmptrapd.service
Write these lines into the file:
'''[Service]'''
'''ExecStart='''
'''ExecStart=/usr/sbin/snmptrapd -Ln -f -Lf /var/log/snmptrapd.log'''
This configuration will write the log into ''' ''/var/log/'' ''' folder and into ''' ''snmptrapd.log'' ''' file.
