Hi Chris,

As far as I know ...
SNMP traps are recieved and logged in the activity log wheter or not your 
device is monitored.
SNMP-Configuration on devices is only for monitoring snmp values and for 
alerting of received traps or values out of defined boudaries.
Hope that helps
Michael

Betreff: RE: [WhatsUp Forum] SNMP traps coming thru unexpectedly.....



I've got an APC UPS with a network mgmt card installed.  It's repeatedly 
sending SNMP traps that indicate a power module failure.  THey are reporting in 
the activity log every 10 minutes, even though the polling on this map is every 
five minutes.  Anyway, I was instructed to disable this notification in WUG for 
now until the team could address the UPS issue. So, on the device in WUG, I 
disabled SNMP, disabled any services being monitored, there are no events to 
solicit, I am still monitoring the device for up/down time, alerting is still 
enabled, and on alert properties ON EVENT is unchecked.  So the should be no 
SNMP traps coming from the APC UPS to WUG; correct?  So why are they still 
making their way to WUG?

Well, I think I've just found a cure, anyway.  Connected to the network card 
and disabled the WUG server as a trap receiver.  So I've effectively blocked 
the trap on both ends.  Still can't figure out why they were still showing up 
in WUG, though, in the first place..........
