IntraSpection). They alert you to failures or to changes that
occur to the switch device.
To set the IntraSwitch to generate traps:
1 Open the SNMP Parameter Menu by typing n
on the Configuration Menu.
1 Type t on the SNMP Parameter Menu to tog-
gle trap authentication from disabled to
enabled.
2 Make sure there is a least one trap receiver
entry. (See “Adding a Trap Receiver” below.)
Adding a Trap Receiver Entry

receive traps from the switch when they occur.
To add a trap receiver entry:
1 Open the SNMP Parameter Menu by typing n
in the Configuration Menu.
1 Type a.
2 Type the IP address of the network manage-
ment station you want to receive traps.
