10.5 SNMP Trap Configuration
Management Access
An access point can use SNMP trap receivers for fault notifications. SNMP traps are unsolicited notifications triggered by
thresholds (or actions) on devices, and are therefore an important fault management tool.
A SNMP trap receiver is the SNMP message destination. A trap is like a Syslog message, just over another protocol (SNMP).
A trap is generated when a device consolidates event information and transmits the information to an external repository. The
trap contains several standard items, such as the SNMP version, community etc.
SNMP trap notifications exist for most operations, but not all are necessary for day-to-day operation.
To define a SNMP trap configuration for receiving events at a remote destination:
1. Select
