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.

Before you begin

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.
