Configuring System Information 153
Trap receivers, also known as notification recipients, are network nodes to
which trap messages are sent by the switch.
A trap receiver entry contains the IP address of the node and the SNMP
credentials corresponding to the version that will be included in the trap
message. When an event arises that requires a trap message to be sent, it is
sent to every node listed in the trap receiver list.
Some messages are of an informational nature and are called "informs"
instead of traps.
To add notification recipients, and attach them to notification filters:
1
Click System > SNMP > Notification Recipients in the tree view to
display the
