Send an SNMP trap to an IP host

Generates an SNMPv1 or SNMPv2c trap and sends it to a specified IP address or host name.

Requirements
This event action requires that SNMP agent be available on the specified system to receive the traps.
Result
The specified system receives an SNMP trap.
Example
If you use an SNMP application to monitor your systems-management environment, you can use this action to send the events from IBM® Systems Director as traps to the SNMP application. If your systems-management environment includes several installations of IBM Systems Director Server, you can use this event action to configure each instance of IBM Systems Director Server to send the events as traps to the SNMP application such that the traps are consolidated in the SNMP application. In the SNMP application, an administrator can view all of the events from all of the IBM Systems Director Server installations.
