SNMP Trap Configuration
The SNMP trap configuration defines how traps are set. Choose from the tabs
Trap1 – Trap 5 to configure each trap.
Table 3-8 describes the SNMP configuration parameters.
NOTE:
The Trap Community string is now per trap, but only when pointing at a
switch running 7.4 or newer firmware. With firmware older than 7.4, there is
just one trap community string for all SNMP configuration.
Table 3-8. SNMP Trap Configuration Parameters
