Type:
Choose a notification type for the NMS that uses SNMPv2c or
SNMPv3; the default type is Trap.
•
Trap: Set the switch to send Trap messages to the NMS.
When the NMS receives a trap message, it will not send a
response to the switch. Thus the switch cannot
determine whether the trap is received or not, and the
trap that is not received will not be resent.
•
Inform: Set the switch to send Inform messages to the
NMS. When the NMS receives an Inform message, it
sends a response to the switch. If the switch does not
receive a response within the Timeout interval, it will
resend the Inform message. Therefore, Informs are more
reliable than Traps.
Retry:
Set the retry times for Informs; the default is 3. The switch will
resend the Inform message if it does not receive response
from the NMS within the timeout interval. It will stop sending
Inform messages when the retry time reaches the limit.
Timeout:
Set the length of time that the switch waits for a response
from the NMS after sending an inform message; the default is
100 seconds. Set the length of time that the switch waits for
a response from the NMS after sending an inform message;
the default is 100 seconds.
