5 Traps
If a special event occurs in a network component, then the SNMP agent can send a message to one or more managers to inform them of the event. Such messages are called traps in SNMP. The manager can react to events in the network based on the incoming trap.
A trap message can be uniquely identified by means of the trap ID and MIB OID.
