according to your selection.
To send SNMP v2c notifications:
1. From the Notification Type drop-down, select SNMPv2c Trap or
SNMPv2c Inform.
2. For SNMP INFORM communications, leave the resend settings at
their default or:
a. In the Timeout (sec) field, enter the interval of time, in seconds,
after which a new inform communication is resent if the first is
not received. For example, resend a new inform communication
once every 3 seconds.
b. In the Number of Retries field, enter the number of times you
want to resend the inform communication if it fails. For example,
inform communications are resent up to 5 times when the initial
communication fails.
3. In the Host fields, enter the IP address of the device(s) you want to
access. This is the address to which notifications are sent by the
SNMP system agent.
4. In the Port fields, enter the port number used to access the
device(s).

the device(s). The community is the group representing the EMX and
all SNMP management stations.
Tip: An SNMP v2c notification action only permits entering a maximum of
three SNMP destinations. To assign more than three SNMP destinations
to a specific rule, first create several SNMP v2c notification actions, each
of which contains completely different SNMP destinations, and then add
all of these SNMP v2c notification actions to the same rule.

SNMPv3 Inform.
