For SNMP Alerting to work, you have to set up:
# Event Filter Table entry - with wildcard or sensor specific
# Alert Policy Table entries - one for each Trap destination, referencing the Event filter  table entry (Policy number) as well as the Lan destination(s) (Destination Selector).
# LAN destination Table entries (one for each Trap destination)

Also make sure, that
# Global PEF is enabled
# Channel Alerting for the LAN channel is enabled.

Some BMC's might help you in the process by providing a GUI to this (quite complex)configuration.

Good luck,
