Using NPM as a SNMP Trap Collector for other EMS

Can NPM be used to collect traps that are forwarded by another EMS system? For instance, I have multiple EMS systems for various network element types (routers, switches, wireless AP's, and servers). In some cases there are multiple EMS's polling the same devices and I really only want one to do the actual device polling but then to send the traps to NPM. Can NPM accept and display these?

You should just need to configure the other EMS systems to forward their traps they receive onto the Orion system.

Yep, that should not be a problem at all

Do you have an online tutorial or any documentation that specifically details how to do this? I think I can figure it out after some trial and error but any direction would be appreciated.

Yep that was easy enough. Tested and works. Now I just need to get the view I want. Thanks.
