If you configure the devices to send traps to multiple MLMs or to an MLM and
NetView, then you'll end up with duplicates of the traps at the NetView
server, i.e. each MLM server will forward ALL traps unless you configure it
trap filtering at the MLM or at NetView in a ruleset.

Subject: MLM trap configuration
When setting up NetView with MLMs, is it a good idea to:
1) Use the default port # for traps going to the MLMs and
2) Reconfigure trapd to listen on a non-default port #?
Also, in an environment with multiple MLMs, where should the trap
destination on the agents point to? The 'main' MLM for that subnet,
or
all the possible MLMs which might possibly 'manage' that host?
Also,
does the NetView server itself need to be in the list (presumably
not)?
Any advice from someone who has set this up 'for real' would be
appreciated? Thanks.
