Adding NMS Event Correlation Servers to AirWave
Perform the following steps to add an event correlation server to AirWave.
1. Navigate to AMP Setup > NMS and click Add.
2. Configure server settings. The configuration options can vary depending on the SNMP version that you select.
Ifyou select SNMPv3, then you must also configure your application (i.e the application that will receive the traps/informs)
for SNMPv3. You will need to set up the engineID, authentication, and Priv parameters and then restart your application
before you can receive the SNMPv3 informs.
