Any SNMP device managed by EMS (A) can send SNMP traps to EMS.
When EMS receives SNMP traps, it forwards the traps to the
Forwarding Filter (B) and translates them into EMS events, which are
processed by the Event Manager (C). The Forwarding Filter (B)
determines if a specific SNMP trap should be forwarded to another
management platform (J).
Any SNMP device can send syslog messages (D) to EMS. EMS
translates the message into an EMS event and passes the event to the
Event Manager (C).
Any EMS server process (E) can generate EMS events and SNMP traps.
EMS passes the event to the Event Manager (C) while sending the
SNMP trap to the Forwarding Filter (B).
