Enabling Individual SNMP Traps
An SNMP trap is a notification sent by the Remote Console Switch to a
management station indicating that an event has occurred in the Remote
Console Switch that may require further attention. The Dell OpenManage
TM
IT Assistant software is the event manager. You can specify what SNMP traps
are sent to the management stations by simply clicking the appropriate check
boxes in the list. Alternatively, you can select or clear the check box next to
Enabled Traps to easily select or deselect the entire list.
