Figure 4-19TR Trap Setup Screen

The TR Trap Setup screen has these fields:

■IP Address—Enter the network address of the remote network management station to which traps are to be sent.

■Community String—Enter a 32-character text string for authenticating SNMP communication between the Switch 2000 TR and a remote net- work manager. The network manager and the Switch 2000 TR must be configured with the same string.

The default community string is public.

■Throttle—Prevents a remote network manager from receiving too many traps at the same time. You can configure the Switch 2000 TR to transmit traps within a specific delay time period known as a throttle. The unit of throttle is one thousandth of a second. The default value is 100, which provides a delay of one-tenth of a second between each transmission.
