Sending Traps - Hirschmann RS20 User Manual

Operation Diagnosis

9.1 Sending Traps

The device reports unusual events which occur during normal operation
immediately to the management station. This is done by messages called
traps that bypass the polling procedure ("Polling" means querying the data
stations at regular intervals). Traps make it possible to react quickly to
unusual events.
Examples of such events are:

a hardware reset

changes to the configuration
 segmentation of a port

...
The device sends traps to various hosts to increase the transmission
reliability for the messages. The unacknowleged trap message consists of a
packet containing information about an unusual event.
The device sends traps to those hosts entered in the trap destination table.
The device allows you to configure the trap destination table with the
management station via SNMP.
