SNMP Trap Management

Traps are messages that alert network personnel of events that occur on the Switch. The events can be as serious as a reboot (someone accidentally turned OFF the Switch), or less serious like a port status change. The Router generates traps and sends them to the trap management server. Typical traps include trap messages for Authentication Failure, Topology Change and Broadcast/Multicast Storms. Use the pull-down menu to enable or disable the SNMP on the device. Enter the Trap Manager IP and Trap Community Name of the trap management server.
