Trap Receiver Attributes
A trap is a message sent by the agent to one or more managers to indicate
the occurrence of a particular event on the device. There are numerous
events that can trigger a trap. For instance, when the switch reboots or
when the Spanning Tree Root Bridge changes. You use traps to monitor
activities on the switch.
Trap receivers are the typically SNMP management stations, that you
want to receive the traps sent by the switch. You specify a trap receiver by
its IP address which is assigned to a specific community string.
The community string name is included when the switch sends a trap. The
management station may use the community string as a verification of the
trap source.
If you are not interested in having SNMP stations receive traps, then you
do not need to enter any IP addresses of trap receivers.
