I'm trying to configure SCOM to accept all SNMP traps.  The problem I'm running into is that the device that I'm looking to monitor does not allow for probe based discovery in SCOM.  Is having the device discovered in SCOM as a "Network Device" a requirement for SCOM to be able to receive SNMP traps?  I do see the SNMP traffic coming from the device and hitting the SCOM server.

Hi,

Yes, the device discovered as a "Network Device" can receive SNMP traps.

You has no choice.

The only for SCOM to monitor SNMP trap for particular device is that the device should be discovered by SCOM.
