SNMP Managers
Overview
SNMP Managers are the network managers to which Universal Controller sends SNMP notifications.
Note
Universal Controller uses SNMPv1 for its SNMP Managers.
SNMP Managers can receive SNMP notifications when:
An Agent or OMS Server goes down or comes back up.
A Cluster Node goes Offline or becomes Active.
An SNMP Notification is associated with a task.
Note
SNMP Notifications on Cluster Nodes cannot be exported; therefore, they cannot be imported. You must set up new SNMP Notifications for Cluster Nodes whenever an export / import has been run.
