Description of Sections in TRAP.INI

The TRAP.INI file defines how the Trap Manager parses trap messages from SNMP devices and converts them
into events, which are then sent to the Event Manager.
Like the NETMGR.INI file, the TRAP.INI file is divided into different sections, namely, the [generic]
section, the [enterprise] section and the specific trap sections.
