What is the difference between the SNMP Trap Adapter and the Trap Notifier Adapter?
The SNMP Trap Adapter and the Trap Notifier Adapter are similar in that they both forward SNMP traps to other NMSs. The difference is how they treat the traps they receive: •The SNMP Trap Adapter simply treats all received traps as pass-through traps and forwards them. •The Trap Notifier Adapter converts alarms shown on the Monitoring Console into SNMP trap messages (using its own MIB), and then forwards them. (The MIB is described in the SNMP Trap Notifier MIB appendix of the appropriate user guide at http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/rtrmgmt/cw2000/dfm/index.htm.
