Netcool/SSM enables you to load and use third-party SNMP extensions that usually run on other SNMP services. On Windows platforms, you can load extensions for the Microsoft SNMP Service. On UNIX platforms, you can load extensions for the Net-SNMP snmpd agent.
When you load an extension on Netcool/SSM, you can use standard SNMP commands to access the functionality and MIB data that the extension provides.
Netcool/SSM can also import an SNMP extension's trap destinations, ensuring that any notifications that the extension generates are sent to the correct destinations.
