Simple Network Management Protocol allows CC-SG to push SNMP traps, which are event notifications, to an existing SNMP manager on the network. You should be trained in handling SNMP infrastructure to configure CC-SG to work with SNMP.
CC-SG also supports SNMP GET/SET operations with third-party solutions, such as HP OpenView. To support the operations, you must provide SNMP agent identifier information such as these MIB-II System Group objects: sysContact, sysName, and sysLocation. These identifiers provide contact, administrative, and location information regarding the managed node. See RFC 1213 for details.
SNMP v3 can be enabled to allow encryption by the User-based Security Model, and View-based Access Control Model. CC-SG supports SNMP v3 traps.
