Strings and Traps.

use as a trap receiver. You can specify up to four trap receivers.
3In the Status box, click Enabled.
4In the Community String box, type the trap receiver’s SNMP application
community string.
5Click Submit.
NOTE
The following traps are supported
by the switch:
• Power to the switch was
cycled or reset.
• Link, speed, or other status
changes on a port.
• A port is partitioned.
