Enabling SNMP Traps
If you use Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) to manage the D-Link Unified
Switch, you can configure the SNMP agent on the switch to send traps to the SNMP manager
on your network from the Administration > Advanced Configuration > Global > SNMP
Traps tab.
Figure 73. SNMP Trap Configuration
The AP does not send out any traps. The switch generates all SNMP traps based on its own
events and events it learns about through updates from the APs it manages.
Table 54
describes the events that generate SNMP traps. All traps are disabled by default.
