Generic Trap Destination Checker
This is an SNMP connector that will process all traps received on a DMA, checking whether they were received from a known IP address or not.
About
When a trap is received, the connector will check if it came from an IP address that corresponds to an existing element. If this is the case, the corresponding entry in the Element Table will be updated with the current date. Otherwise, an entry will be added to the Unprocessed Trap Table, indicating that a trap was received and discarded.
