The following table summarizes the ways to forward traps and incidents from the NNMi management server to another destination.

Table 6‒2: Supported ways to forward traps and NNMi incidents
Item	NNMi trap forwarding	NNMi Northbound interface trap forwarding	Global network management trap forwarding
What to forward	SNMP traps from network devices Events of NNM version 8 or earlier from NNM management stations	SNMP traps from network devices NNMi management events	SNMP traps from network devices Events of NNM version 8 or earlier from NNM management stations
Forwarding format	SNMPv1, SNMPv2c, or SNMPv3 traps, as received (SNMPv3 traps can be converted to SNMPv2c traps)	SNMPv2c traps created from NNMi incidents	NNMi incidents
Added information	In most cases, NNMi adds varbinds to identify the original source object. NNMi does not ever modify SNMPv1 traps.	NNMi adds varbinds to identify the original source object.	Any information added to the incident by the regional manager processes is retained in the forwarded incident.
Where to configure	Incidents > Trap Server > Trap Forwarding Configuration in the Configuration workspace	Northbound Interface in the Integration Module Configuration workspace	Forward to Global Managers tab on an SNMP Trap Configuration form or a Remote NNM 6.x/7.x Event Configuration form
Notes	--	--	Forward the remote incidents that are visible in the global manager incident views. Forwarded incidents participate in correlations on the global manager.
For details	Configure Trap Forwarding in NNMi Help	--	Configure Forward to Global Manager Settings for an SNMP Trap Incident (NNMi Advanced) in NNMi Help Configure Forward to Global Managers Settings for a Remote 6.x/7.x Event Incident (NNMi Advanced) in NNMi Help
