Configure CA Spectrum to Accept SNMP v3 Traps

Before you can send SNMP V3 traps from CA Enterprise Log Manager to CA Spectrum, you must create a model of the CA Enterprise Log Manager appliance in CA Spectrum. SNMP v3 traps are then directed to the CA Enterprise Log Manager node that you modeled.

1. Log on to the Windows server where CA Spectrum is installed.
2. Access the Spectrum OneClick console:
   1. From the Start menu, click All Programs, CA, SPECTRUM Control Panel.
