SNMP Trap Receivers

Under SNMP configurattion for Authentication Manager 8.1 settings, I can set multiple IP's as  SNMP Trap Receiver, with regards to this I need to clarify the below:
1. will the traps be sent to all the IP's in the list collectively.

2. Which IP will take priority.

3. will the traps be sent to the next IP if the first IP is down.

SNMP outgoing traps are connection-less. There is no way for the system to know if a trap receiver is down, the box just sends a UDP packet out, and forgets about it. It is up to the network to deliver the UDP packet to the destination, and there will be no retransmission as with TCP. I am not sure the IP address ordering logic, but yes, if you have multiple IP addresses as trap receivers, for each trap, it will go to each IP address at the same time.

Thank you very much Edward for the info provided.
