Trap Forwarding Destination Form

[This is the context-sensitive Help topic for the Incident Configuration: Trap Forwarding Destination form.]

Pre-requisite: Make sure you have used the NNMi nnmincidentcfg.ovpl command line utility to automatically create or update the incident configurations for the SNMP traps you want to include. See Load SNMP Trap Incident Configurations for more information. You must also create the Trap Forwarding Filters for the SNMP traps you want NNMi to forward. See Configure Trap Forwarding Filters for more information.

The Trap Forwarding Destinations form enables you to specify the servers to which you want NNMi to forward SNMP traps.

Note See Manage Incoming SNMP Traps for information about the criteria NNMi uses to determine when to receive or discard traps.

  1. Select the Trap Forwarding Destinations tab.
  2. Do one of the following:

    • To add an SNMP Trap Forwarding Destination configuration, click the New icon that precedes the configuration you want to edit, and continue.
    • To edit an SNMP Trap Forwarding Destination configuration, click the Open icon in the row representing the configuration you want to edit, and continue.
    • To delete an SNMP Trap Forwarding Destination configuration, click the Delete icon.
  3. Make your configuration choices (see table).
  4. Click  Save and Close to save your changes and return to the Trap Forwarding Configuration form.
