As long as you discover the sender of traps box as a NODE, you are good to go.
Another gotchya - is that when using resource pools, the management server that receives the traps MUST be the same management server that happens to be hosting that particular NODE. The scenario is if you put 4 MS in you network resource pool, those 4 MS will divide up the network devices between them. If you send traps - you must send traps to ALL FOUR management servers in the pool, because you don't know who will be hosting which object at any given time. If using traps, I recommend locking those down to 2 pools using two management servers, and ensuring all network devices send to both Management server IP's. For testing - just put ONE MS in the pool to know who is hosting the object. Additionally - you said V2 trap. Make sure you don't have a version mismatch between the discovered version and the trap version - or better yet strip out "version" from the trap reception rules per my article. Lastly - there are some traps that SCOM doesn't recognize, but those are very rare. I actually re-wrote a netapp MP to use the legacy stuff, where the NOCS sent a trap to himself, and the agent picked it up, and this didn't have a dependency on "node".... But it was customer specific. You have plenty of options.

Outline. 1. Receive Traps from NetBackup 7.7.3 into SCOM as the NetBackup Mgt Pack for 2007 Does not work as it uses the Network Device Legacy Class and not the correct Node class - requires a rewrite which is outside of my skills level. 2. The NetBackup Operations Center server is a Windows 2008 R2 Server and I have added it to SCXOM 2012 R2 as a Network Device using this article https://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/23549.how-to-discover-windows-computers-using-snmp-via-scom.aspx 3. I have used Wireshark to detect and ensure that Traps are being received and I can see the SNMP-v2 traps hitting the interface on the SCOM Management Server. 1. The traps do not appear in the Node- capture filter in SCOM? I think the problem is around the Windows Box Network Devices discovery and class (Node) but I cannot be sure any help would be appreciated.
