Configuring SNMP trap forwarding

The final step to managing networks of overlapping IP addresses is to configure the devices in each network to forward SNMP traps to the appropriate
IP Manager
. Devices should be configured to send SNMP traps to the IP address of the appropriate virtual interface used by the
IP Manager
. In our example, devices in Domain A are configured to send SNMP traps to the virtual interface used by
IP Manager
 A.
The configuration of
VMware Smart Assurance
’ trap processing is described in the
and the
. A built-in trap receiver runs automatically as a process within each
IP Manager
.
If the configuration for both built-in trap receivers is the same, they can share the same trapd.conf configuration file. Because each
IP Manager
will listen for traps on different IP addresses, both
IP Manager
s can listen on the same port.
