Enabling Individual SNMP Traps

An SNMP trap is a notification sent by the Remote Console Switch to a

management station indicating that an event has occurred in the Remote

Console Switch that may require further attention. The Dell OpenManage

TM

IT Assistant software is the event manager. You can specify what SNMP traps

are sent to the management stations by simply clicking the appropriate check

boxes in the list. Alternatively, you can select or clear the check box next to

Enabled Traps to easily select or deselect the entire list.
