15.5.2 Adding more than one SNMP server
To add more than one SNMP server for alert traps add the first SNMP server using the Management
Console (refer Chapter 7) or the command line config tool. Secondary and any further SNMP servers are
added manually using config.
Log in to the console server’s command line shell as root or an admin user. Refer back to the
Management Console UI or user documentation for descriptions of each field.
