Configure Traps

Trap configuration is complete when you have finished the following tasks:

Create the traps that you need, as described in the CA Network Flow Analysis Administrator Guide "Create Traps" topic.
Enable traps to be displayed as events in the CA Performance Center Console: Open the Application Settings page in the NFA console. Set the Trap Destination value to match the IP address of the NFA console server that is registered as a data source for CA Performance Center.
(Optional) Enable Watchdog trap notifications to be sent to your trap receiver: Open the Watchdog Settings page in the NFA console. Configure values for the Trap Destination, Email Address, and other Watchdog settings.
(Optional) Verify that the events are displayed on the CA Performance Center Events Display page. If the Events Display page does not show the events as expected, verify that the following conditions are met:
- The logs show that events have been generated and have been forwarded to the Event Manager.
- The Event Manager host name is resolvable by the DNS server for CA Network Flow Analysis.
- The Trap Destination value on the Application Settings page in the NFA console matches the IP address of the NFA console server that is registered as the data source for CA Performance Center.
