Configuring the OMS to Send SNMP Trap Notifications

Before creating an SNMP Trap notification method, you must enable at least one OMS is your environment to handle SNMP Trap notifications. For SNMP V3, the OMS serves as an SNMP Agent which sends traps to the SNMP Manager that is monitoring all SNMP Agents deployed in the network.

  1. From the Setup menu, select Notifications and then SNMP V3 Traps. The Getting Started page displays. This page documents the high-level workflow for configuring Enterprise Manager to send traps to third-party SNMP Managers.
  2. Click the Configuration tab. The Configuration page displays.
  3. In the OMS Configuration region, select the OMS you wish to enable.
  4. Check the following for each OMS and make changes, if necessary:

    • OMS requires a port for SNMPv3 traps. Check if the default port can be used by OMS.

    • OMS requires a unique Engine ID for sending traps. By default, it is being generated from the host name and port.

  5. Click Enable.
