Configuring SNMP trap settings for alert notifications

Last published : Jun 19, 2026
Using the Management Server console, you can configure the SNMP trap settings.
When an event takes place, some objects that are not polled, send traps or unsolicited asynchronous SNMP messages to the server. Some of the rules that Veritas InfoScale Operations Manager uses to monitor objects in the environment rely on SNMP trap-based messages.
Enter the following details to configure the SNMP trap settings:
SNMP server Enter the IP Address or name of the host
where the SNMP trap console is located.
Visible only when SNMP Trap is selected.
Example: Host123.example.com
SNMP port Enter the SNMP port number. The default port for the trap is 162.
You can edit
the port number, if required.
To perform this task, your user group must be assigned the Admin role on the Management Server perspective.
To configure the SNMP trap settings for alert notifications
  1. In the Home page on the Management Server console, click Settings.
  2. In the Settings tab, click Management Server.
  3. In the Server settings tab, under SNMP Trap settings, do the following:
