Forwarding Alarms to an SNMP Destination
The SNMP forwarding option is typically used for integration of Live Platform with a Network Management System (NMS). After selecting the Destination tab, the screen whose destination type is SNMP v2 or SNMP v3 opens by default.

| 1. | In the Alarms Forwarding Rule Details screen (Alarms > Forwarding > Add Alarm Rule), from the 'Destination Type' drop-down, choose SNMP (default). |
