Configure the BAM server to send SNMP trap notifications to a specified trap server. The trap server is the server to which BAM communicates specified changes in its status by sending SNMP traps. The trap server can be configured to use SNMP version 1, 2c, or 3. This may be a different address from the SNMP polling server or manager address that's set up when enabling the service. In SNMPv3, trap messages can be authenticated with a trap server username and password.

Note: BAM supports the configuration of multiple SNMP Trap servers.

Note: SNMP Trap community strings, usernames, and pass-phrases don't support spaces, Unicode characters, or the following special characters: " ' ` / \ % & ? < > $

To enable and configure SNMP trap service on the BAM server:
