Trap exploder operation

The trap exploder forwards traps as follows:

• Forwards copies of IPv4 and IPv6 traps over IPv4 or IPv6 communication links to the IP Manager. This information is used by the IP Managers correlation analysis software for analysis purposes.

• Forwards copies of IPv4 traps over IPv4 communication links to the satellite Domain Managers, to be used by the satellite Domain Managers for analysis purposes.

• Forwards copies of IPv4 and IPv6 traps over IPv4 or IPv6 communication links to the secondary trap receiver (part of the VMware Smart Assurance Service Assurance Manager Adapter Platform) for informational purposes. This information is then included in the notifications processed by the Global Manager.
