If SNMP is enabled on the HiPath Wireless Controller, alarm conditions will trigger a trap in
SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol). An SNMP trap is an event notification sent by
the managed agent (a network device) to the management system to identify the occurrence
of conditions. (See Section 9.4, “Setting up SNMP”, on page 121 for more information on
enabling this function on the HiPath Wireless Controller).
