Trap Log Options
The Trap Log can hold up to 10,000 traps. When this limit is reached,
traps must be removed from the Trap Log to provide room for new traps.
You can configure Network Management to either discard old traps or
archive them.
* Note:
By default, when the Trap Log holds 10,000 traps, the oldest
1,000 traps are discarded.
* Note:
Archived traps are appended to the event archive.
