Notification Recipients
Trap messages are generated to report system events, as defined in RFC 1215.
The system can generate traps defined in the MIB that it supports.
Trap receivers (aka Notification Recipients) are network nodes where the trap
messages are sent by the switch. A list of notification recipients are defined as the
targets of trap messages.
