Trap Receiver is a network management application based on Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). With Trap Receiver, you can manage your network efficiently because most intelligent network devices support SNMP.
With Trap Receiver, in addition to the AMF Network that can be managed by the Vista Manager application, AMF Network devices and non-AMF Network devices that use SNMP can be displayed and managed on the Network Map.

## Features available with Trap Receiver

The features available in Trap Receiver are:

- Detects SNMP devices and displays them on the Vista Manager Network Map.
  Create a subnetwork to discover SNMP devices. Immediately after creating the subnetwork, it starts discovering SNMP devices and updates its status every 10 minutes thereafter.
- Receives SNMP traps and displays them in the Vista Manager Event Log.
  The target node for which the trap is displayed in the event log is the node that is detected on the subnet created by Trap Receiver and has the SNMP function enabled.

> Note

> > The supported functions are different from SNMP Plug-in that runs on the Windows version of Vista Manager EX.

> Note

> > It supports different features than the SNMP Plug-in applications supported by VST-APL firmware version 1.2.1 / 1.3.1.

> Note

> > Supports SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c. SNMPv3 is not supported.

> Note

> > It is not possible to back up and restore the management data of the SNMP network.
