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
    Configure the trap exploder
    to receive traps from the managed network devices and to distribute BGP and OSPF traps to
    , network traps to
    IP Availability Manager
    , and informational traps to the trap receiver.
  • Configure the built-in trap receivers
    Configure the built-in trap receivers
    of
    and
    IP Availability Manager
    to receive the traps forwarded by the trap exploder.
  • Configure the trap receiver
    Configure the trap receiver
    to receive the informational traps forwarded by the trap exploder and to convert the traps into
    VMware Smart Assurance
    notifications.
  • Configure the Adapter Platform
    Configure the Adapter Platform
    to import topology from
    IP Availability Manager
    for the purpose of associating
    VMware Smart Assurance
    notifications with the appropriate topology objects.
