Filtering traps with existing IMC Trap filter rules
Effective trap management requires careful consideration of which traps are useful to the organization
and the consequent configuration of the network devices that send traps and the management station
that receives them. More often than not though, some of these steps are skipped as network
administrators and network management administrators rarely have time for this. Frequently, network
devices are often configured either to send more traps than are useful or necessary or to send none at all.
You can more effectively manage the reception of traps for reporting incidents and their resolution in the
network infrastructure through trap filtering.
