Firstly let me say that since the trap was sent using the SNMP protocol, the receiving entity needs to understand the same protocol to log the trap at all, since the PDU sent by the sending entity was created using SNMP and it can be understood by an agent understanding the same protocol.
The NMS application will operate as per the configurations set into it...for example it will either only log the trap or display it as per the configurations mentioned. Obviously if the NMS application used is something like HP Openview, then it must have all configurations explicitly set into it. If you are using snmptrapd daemon, then it will simply log the trap as a received event(to syslog, the NT Event Log, or a plain text file) and/or may forward it to another SNMP management station, or passed to another external application.

I have inmplented one mib, which basically monitors business application. snmp sub-agent sends a Trap when even business application goes down. I do not know what snmpd do with that trap. Now some other NMS application need to handle that trap and as an action wants to restart the application . Can any one guide me , how this NMS application will receive this Trap? does the nms need to understand snmp protocol ? __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
