Enabling SNMP traps
SNMP provides the ability to send traps to notify the administrator that trap conditions are met.
Traps are network packets containing data relating to network devices, or SNMP agents, that send

can perform responsive actions. SNMP trap generation is programmable on a trap-by-trap basis.
Use the SNMP Traps Configuration screen to enable traps and to configure appropriate settings for
reporting this information. Trap configuration depends on the network machine that receives the
generated traps. SNMP v1/v2c and v3 trap configurations function independently. In a mixed
SNMP environment, generated traps can be sent using configurations for both SNMP v1/v2c and
v3.
