Configuring Trap Managers and Enabling Traps
A trap manager is a management station that receives and processes traps. Traps are system alerts that
the access point generates when certain events occur. By default, no trap manager is defined, and no
traps are issued.
Access points running this Cisco IOS release can have an unlimited number of trap managers.
Community strings can be any length.
Table18-4 describes the supported access point traps (notification types). You can enable any or all of
these traps and configure a trap manager to receive them.
