Subscribing to Managed Object Value Updates using SNMP

By default, the Dell Networking system displays some unsolicited SNMP messages (traps) upon certain events and conditions.
You can also configure the system to send the traps to a management station. Traps cannot be saved on the system.
Dell Networking OS supports the following three sets of traps:
• RFC 1157-defined traps — coldStart, warmStart, linkDown, linkUp, authenticationFailure, and egpNeighbborLoss.
• Force10 enterpriseSpecific environment traps — fan, supply, and temperature.
