Managing SNMP trap subscriptions

[Version 2.1 and later] A Simple Network Monitoring Protocol (SNMP) trap is an event or state notification that is initiated by the SNMP agent embedded on the appliance. Using SNMP trap subscriptions, you define which SNMP traps the agent communicates to the SNMP clients.WebSphere® DataPower® XC10 Appliance supports SNMP version 2vc.
