Hi Jay, list,

Spectrum accepts ALL v1/v2c traps independent from trap community.

If Spectrum receives a trap from an unmodeled device and is configured
to handle such traps (via "VNM -> AutoDiscovery Control -> Trap Based
Continuous Discovery") it uses the trap community to try to discover
and model the device. Additionally it can try to use one of the
configured communities under Trap Based Continuous Discovery to
achieve this.

@all: please feel free to corrcet me if I'm wrong with using the trap
community to discover as I'm not fully sure here.

Things with SNMPv3 are a little bit different. If using SNMPv3 traps
the trap credentials must be the same as access ones as Spectrum must
know how to translate them.

Hope this helps.

Regards,
Marcel
