• SNMP Notification - SNMP traps are sent to external SNMP management stations.
• Authentication Notification - Failed authentication attempts are logged by the switch.
Use the SNMP Notification section of the SNMP Trap Station screen to enable the
notification mechanisms. Click SNMP > Trap Station to view the screen as shown.
