Notification Recipients
Trap messages are generated to report system events, as defined in RFC 1215. The system can
generate traps defined in the MIB that it supports.
Trap receivers (Notification Recipients) are network nodes to which trap messages are sent by
the device. A list of notification recipients can be defined.
A trap receiver entry contains the IP address of the node and the SNMP credentials
corresponding to the version that is included in the trap message. When an event arises that
requires a trap message to be sent, it is sent to every node listed in the Notification Recipient
Table.
The
SNMPv1.2 Notification Recipients
SNMPv3 Notification Recipients
page
enable configuring the destination to which SNMP notifications are sent, and the types of
SNMP notifications that are sent to each destination (traps or informs). The Add/Edit pop-ups
enable configuring the attributes of the notifications.
An SNMP notification is a message sent from the device to the SNMP management station
indicating that a certain event has occurred, such as a link up/down.
