Niagara handles alarms using the station alarming service and its alarm classes. The SNMP driver uses these alarm classes in generating and receiving SNMP traps. Because alarm classes are standard Niagara objects, all Niagara alarms that generate trap messages (or all received SNMP trap messages that generate Niagara alarms) can be viewed in a Niagara alarm console. In order to generate and receive SNMP traps, you must properly configure the SnmpNetwork and SnmpRecipient components.

Refer to the following sections for more information about configuring the SNMP network for trap generation and trap reception:
