Configure what triggers SNMP traps
The trap parameters define where and how SNMP traps are sent from Secure SD-WAN Engines and the SMC Appliance.
The same SNMP Agent element can be used for Secure SD-WAN Engines and the SMC Appliance. Some settings only apply to Secure SD-WAN Engines. Settings that are not supported for the SMC Appliance are ignored when the SNMP Agent is used for the SMC Appliance.
In addition to the general events, the tester on each Secure SD-WAN Engine can send SNMP traps when a test fails.
