The Trap Forwarder application lets you forward certain traps the management station
receives to other management stations. Trap Forwarder consists of a user interface
and a background process. All traps sent to the management station or remote con-
sole can have actions configured. For more information, see the HP online manual,

The Trap Forwarder user interface is launchable from NNM SE Tools—>Dell—>Trap
Forwarder on the toolbar. The background process starts automatically if traps are
configured and runs in the background when other OpenView background processes
are started. The background process can be started and stopped using the ovstart
and ovstop commands, respectively. Status can be viewed using ovstatus.

ously configured traps from the list.
