The TRAPHOST parameter specifies a trap receiver for the SNMP

eight IP addresses of trap receivers, but only one IP address can be
added at a time with this command.
The MANAGER parameter specifies the management station that is
permitted SNMP management access to the switch using the
community string. A community string can have up to eight IP addresses
of management stations, but only one IP address can be added at a time
with this command.
