Trap
Traps can be used to signal abnormal conditions (notifications) to a management station. This trap-driven
notification can make your network more efficient.
Because a management station usually takes care of a large number of devices that have a large number of
objects, it will be overloading for the management station to poll or send requests to query every object on
every device. It would be better if the managed device agent could notify the management station by sending
a message known as a trap for the event.

SNMP Trap Receiver Settings

equivalent, and it is possible to convert between the two. You can set the parameters for SNMP trap receivers
through the web page.
