Traps

Traps are messages that alert you of events that occur on the
Switch. The events can be as serious as a reboot (someone
accidentally turned OFF the Switch), or less serious like a port
status change. The Switch generates traps and sends them to
the network manager (trap recipient).
Trap recipients are special users of the network who are given
certain rights and access in overseeing the maintenance of the
network. Trap recipients will receive traps sent from the
Switch; they must immediately take certain actions to avoid
future failure or breakdown of the network.
You can also specify which network managers may receive
traps from the Switch by entering a list of the IP addresses of
authorized network managers.
addresses, and four corresponding SNMP community strings
can be entered.
SNMP community strings function like passwords in that the
community string entered for a given IP address must be used
in the management station software, or a trap will be sent.
The following are trap types the switch can send to a trap
recipient:

powered up and initialized such that software settings are
reconfigured and hardware systems are rebooted. A cold
start is different from a factory reset in that configuration

rebooted, however the POST (Power On Self-Test) is
skipped.
