A trap group is a set of management stations to which traps generated by

the HP probe are sent. A trap destination is one of the management sta-

tions in a trap group.

A trap group has an associated name and one or more destinations (man-

agement station IP addresses). When a trap is generated for a group, it is

sent to all the destinations in the group. Many events and alarms can be

linked to the same trap group.

Multi-interface HP probes have one set of trap groups for all of the

interfaces on the probe, and traps are sent to the management station

via the telemetry port.

The Trap Destinations window, shown in ﬁgure 84 on page 422, lets you

manage and conﬁgure trap groups on HP probes. The items in this

window are described below.

Probe Displays the names or IP addresses of the selected HP probe(s). If

multiple items were selected, their names are separated with spaces.

You can change the probes for which to conﬁgure a trap group; push the

Reload from probe button to retrieve the trap conﬁguration from the

new list.
