Trap Specify the IP address of the NMS to notify when a significant event is
detected by the agent. When a trap condition occurs, the SNMP agent sends
an SNMP trap message to any NMS specified as a trap receiver.
IP Address Traps are sent to this address when errors or specific events
occur on the network. Community A community string (password) specified for
trap management. Enter a word, something other than public or
private, to prevent unauthorized individuals from accessing information on your
system. Version Sets the trap status to disabled, or enabled
with V1 or V2c. The v2c protocol was proposed in late 1995 and includes
enhancements to v1 that are universally accepted.
These include a get-bulk command to reduce network management traffic when
retrieving a sequence of MIB variables, and a more elaborate set of error codes
for improved reporting to A Network Management Station.
