2.5.7 Methods for receiving events from APMs in a distributed configuration

SSOs in a distributed configuration can receive events from APMs by using one of two event reception methods:

TCP notification method

This is the default reception method, under which each SSO receives events directly from APMs.
SNMP trap method

Each SSO receives SNMP trap notifications directly from APMs.

The following figure shows the data flow during event reception from APMs in a distributed configuration.
