A trap receiver is a management station designated by the switch to receive SNMP traps sent from the switch. An authentication trap is a specialized SNMP trap sent to trap receivers when an unauthorized management station tries to access the switch.

N o t e	Fixed or “Well-Known” Traps: The Series 5300XL switches automatically
	sends fixed traps (such as “coldStart”, “warmStart”, “linkDown”, and
	“linkUp”) to trap receivers using the public community name. These traps
	cannot be redirected to other communities. Thus, if you change or delete the
	default public community name, these traps will be lost.
	Thresholds: The switch automatically sends all messages resulting from
	thresholds to the network management station(s) that set the thresholds,
	regardless of the trap receiver configuration.
	In the default configuration, there are no trap receivers configured, and the
	authentication trap feature is disabled. From the CLI you can configure up to
	ten SNMP trap receivers to receive SNMP traps from the switch. As an option,
	you can also configure the switch to send Event Log messages as traps. CLI:
