Configuring F5 with OpenView

Question

Hello,&nbsp;
&nbsp;I need to configure the F5 with OpenView and I need to configure the SNMP but I have two questions:&nbsp;
&nbsp;1 - What should I configure an SNMP Trap or an SNMP Agent?
&nbsp;2 - From which interface the SNMP traffic will be sent to the OpenView?&nbsp;
&nbsp;Thanks,&nbsp;
&nbsp;Bayan&nbsp;

1. You can enable SNMP traps and enable polling by configuring a community string 
&nbsp; 2. Whatever interface has a route to your openview server.
