Trap Forwarding
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) traps are generated in response to changes in the status of sensors and
other monitored parameters on a managed device. In order to correctly forward these traps, you must configure an
SNMP trap destination, defined either by IP address or host name. For information about forwarding SNMPv1 and SNMP
v2 traps in both the original format and OMEssentials format, see Forwarding Alerts Use Case Scenarios.
For example, you may want to use trap forwarding if you are in a multi tiered enterprise environment using OpenManage
Essentials to create associations and forward traps to the enterprise manager.
If the trap is being processed locally and then forwarded to the destination or it is just forwarded to the destination.
Use this window to specify the parameters for configuring trap forwarding.
Field Description
Destination Provide the IP address or host name for the system that is
hosting the enterprise management application.
Community Provide the SNMP community to which the destination IP
address or host name belongs.

format received by OpenManage Essentials..
Test Action Forwards a test trap to the specified destination using the
specified community string.
