Notification; Notification Config - TP-Link T2500G-10TS User Manual

13.2 Notification

With the Notification function enabled, the switch can initiatively report to the management
station about the important events that occur on the Views (e.g., the managed device is
rebooted), which allows the management station to monitor and process the events in time.
The notification information includes the following two types:
Trap：Trap is the information that the managed device initiatively sends to the Network
management station without request.
Inform：Inform packet is sent to inform the management station and ask for the reply. The
switch will resend the inform request if it doesn't get the response from the management
station during the Timeout interval, and it will terminate resending the inform request if the
resending times reach the specified Retry times. The Inform type, employed on SNMPv2c and
SNMPv3, has a higher security than the Trap type.
