Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is a standard protocol for managing devices on IP networks. Devices that typically support SNMP are routers, switches, servers, workstations, printers, and modem racks.

When you create an SNMP appender, you define the Generic Trap Type as a numeric value. You can find information on trap types at http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/zvm/v5r4/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.zvm.v54.kijl0/trp.htm.

Before you use the SNMP appender, you must put the SNMPTrapAppender and OpenNMS jar files into the

<Dynamic Data Masking installation>/lib/ext

directory. On Windows, you must remove and restart the Dynamic Data Masking Server to update the Server configuration in the Windows Registry. On Unix, you must restart the Dynamic Data Masking Server.
