Catalyst 1900 and Catalyst 2820 switches support up to four trap managers. When
you configure community strings for these switches, limit the string length to
32 characters. When configuring traps on these switches, you cannot configure
individual trap managers to receive specific traps.
Table 6-3
describes the Catalyst 1900 and Catalyst 2820 switch traps. You can
enable any or all of these traps, but these traps are received by all configured trap
managers.
