Configuring the SNMP trap integration components
Before starting the SNMP trap integration components in a deployment, you must configure them so that they can receive, distribute, and process traps properly at startup.
The configuration steps are:
- Configure the trap exploder to forward traps on page 90 to receive traps from the managed network devices and to distribute VoIP traps to , network traps toIP Availability Manager, VoIP informational traps to the , and non-VoIP informational traps to theSNMP Trap Adapterconfigured as a trap receiver.
- Configure the built-in trap receiver on page 94 of to receive the traps forwarded by the trap exploder.
- Configure the VoIP Notification Trap Adapter on page 95 to receive the VoIP informational traps forwarded by the trap exploder and to convert the traps intoVMware Smart Assurancenotifications.
- Configure the trap receiver for Adapter Platform on page 96 in the installation area to receive the non-VoIP informational traps forwarded by the trap exploder and to convert the traps intoVMware Smart Assurancenotifications.
- Configure the Adapter Platform on page 96 to import topology from andIP Availability Managerfor the purpose of associatingVMware Smart Assurancenotifications with the appropriate topology objects.A specific procedure is provided in “Configure components to forward VoIP Performance Manager threshold traps” on page 97 that explains how to configure the trap exploder, the , and the to forward default threshold traps for informational purposes.
