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.

Subject: [msmom] SNMP Trap Monitoring

All,

Been using Kevin Holman's excellent guide(s) and have been using the 
https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/kevinholman/2015/02/03/snmp-trap-monitoring-with-scom-2012-r2/
 guide to setup SNMP monitoring for Traps.

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.
