## Symptoms

- * Although multiple 'trap2sink' commands were added to `/etc/snmp/snmpd.conf` file, the '`snmpmonitor`' sends traps only to the sink server specified in the last '`trap2sink`' entry in `/etc/snmp/snmpd.conf` file.  

* SecurePlatform sends SNMP Traps with 'public' community name, although different community was configured in `/etc/snmp/snmpd.conf` file

## Cause

1. Sending SNMP Traps to multiple sink servers is not supported by standard 'snmpmonitor' utility.  

2. Check Point '**snmpmonitor** ' daemon sends SNMP Requests to '**snmpd** ' daemon with parameters configured in `/etc/snmp/snmpd.conf` file:  
   * SNMP Community configured in '`trap2sink`' line
   * OID configured in '`cp_monitor`' line

   <br />

   <br />

   However, Community Name '**public** ' is hard-coded - as a result, the '**snmpd**' daemon does not respond.
