LAN destinations
BMC supports SNMP alert destinations. These are SNMP traps. When you set a LAN destination for alerts, the BMC sends an
SNMP trap to the set a destination whenever BMC detects alert conditions. You can setup the SNMP management application
on the destination to receive these SNMP traps; however, setting up the SNMP management station is beyond the scope of
this document.
