In this section:

The SBC, like other Sonus devices, uses SNMP traps to notify management applications of events. SNMP traps are the messages that notify a management client that an event has occurred on the SBC node. These traps are not displayed in EMA and can be viewed from Insight EMS or other SNMP manager configured as a trap target. In case of error scenario, a trap is initiated at the device and forwarded to the EMS or to the other SNMP manager for processing.

Up to 32 trap targets can be configured on the SBC.

The supported SNMP trap types are SNMP v1, v2, and v3. These trap types can be configured. 

The following command is executed in CLI to configure the SNMP traps:

%  set oam snmp trapTarget
