Enabling individual SNMP traps

An SNMP trap is a notification sent by the appliance to a management station indicating that an event has occurred in the appliance that may require further attention. You can specify what SNMP traps are sent to the management stations by simply clicking the appropriate checkboxes in the list. When you select the Traps category for the first time, the AMP will retrieve and display a list of SNMP traps from the appliance. You may select Enable All or Disable All to easily select or deselect the entire list.
