Testing the connection
To test the connection to a specific server, you can send a trap. Proceed as 
follows:
Ê
Select 
Test Trap
 from the context menu.
The 
Test Trap
 window opens:
Ê
Either select the server from the list under 
Serverlist
or
Ê
Enter the IP address of the server. If you wish you can specify the server 
name.
Ê
Either accept the default values for 
Community
 and 
Timeout
 or enter the 
relevant values in these fields.
Ê
To test the connection, click the 
Test trap
 button.
A window informs you of the connection status. To close this window, click the 
Close button.

Note for Linux
If you perform a connection test for the local host (127.0.0.1/localhost), 
the test trap times out. This is because the system is waiting for a 
response from the IP address of the local host to which ServerView 
Operations Manager made the request, whereas the actual response 
received by the trap comes from the real IP address of the server 
specified in the SNMP master agent.
