To have Security Center events or alarms
triggered by SNMP traps on a device, you must add SNMP traps to SNMP devices and device
templates.
What you should know
To add all of the traps related to an SNMP device, import the MIB files provided by
the SNMP device manufacturer.
NOTE: A device can have more than one MIB file provided
with it. When this is the case, you must upload all of the provided files, as they
can be dependent on each other.
To monitor specific SNMP traps, you can add
them manually in
Security Center.
NOTE: You
must know the OID of the trap that you want to receive notifications
for.
