+# SNMP trap
+
+phosphor-snmp currently only supports sending traps for error log entries.
+Enabling that for a system can be done by adding phosphor-dbus-monitor rules.
+
+There are a couple of ways through which the user can configure the Dbus-monitor
+to generate the SNMP trap.
+
+* Interface added signal on the D-Bus object.
+* Properties changed signal on the D-Bus object.
+
+Other OpenBMC applications can still send the SNMP trap as needed. These
+applications must use the API exposed by the libsnmp.
+
+Users need to add the notification object in the MIB and then application can
+call the library function.
+
+The OpenBMC Notification management information base (MIB) extension can be
+found at the following location.
+It defines the object descriptions needed for a management application to be
+notified of an error entry in the OpenBMC log.

+
+The phosphor-snmp repository exposes the following lib and the D-Bus service
+
+libsnmp: Exposes the API to send the SNMP trap
+phosphor-network-snmpconf: Used for configuring the SNMP manager(Client).
+
+# SNMP Manager Configuration
+
+The administrator can configure one or more SNMP managers to receive the OpenBMC
+traps.
+
+## Add the SNMP Manager
+
+### REST
+
+```curl -c cjar -b cjar -k -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST -d '{"data": ["<snmp manager ip>", <port>] }' https://<hostname/ip>/xyz/openbmc_project/network/snmp/manager/action/Client```
+
+### busctl
+
+```busctl call xyz.openbmc_project.Network.SNMP /xyz/openbmc_project/network/snmp/manager xyz.openbmc_project.Network.Client.Create Client sqs "<snmp manager ip>" <port>```
+
+## Delete the SNMP Manager
+
+### REST
+
+```curl -c cjar -b cjar -k -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X DELETE https://<hostname/ip>/xyz/openbmc_project/network/snmp/manager/<id>```
