SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is a method by which a network can be monitored from a central location. SNMP-enabled network applications (like Backup Exec) report to an SNMP Console (a management workstation). The console receives messages (traps) from Backup Exec regarding status and error conditions. A MIB is available in the WINNT\SNMP\language directory on the Backup Exec installation media that you can load into your SNMP console.
The Object Identifier prefix for Symantec is:
1.3.6.1.4.1.1302
Backup Exec SNMP Traps (messages) have unique object IDs and may include up to four strings.
The following SNMP Trap types are supported:
