Introduction to SNMP
Traps and Their
Purpose
Traps are unsolicited status reports, or status change indicators a
managed object sends to a network manager. The destination address
and UDP port number for traps can be configured for each managed
agent. If no specific value is configured for UDP port number it takes
the default value. The default value for UDP port number is 162.
