  • Whether you are using SNMPv2 or SNMPv3, you can define ten trap destinations, as follows:
  • SNMP Dest Desc—Description of the host to which SNMP trap messages will be sent.
  • SNMP IP Address—If non-zero, specifies the IP address of a host to which SNMP trap messages will be sent.
  • Trap/Inform—Choose one or the other. A trap is an event notification; an inform is a trap that retries up to 5 additional times, unless it has been acknowledged.

For SNMPv3 only, configure the Inform Engine Id parameter with the client's engine ID.
