SNMP traps scheme.
SNMP Trap: The device sends a trap to a monitoring device; the traps are
defined in a MIB file.
snmptrad: It receives the SNMP trap and manages it.
snmptt: It translates the SNMP trap, classify the information with pre-
defined clauses and acts accordingly to the rules defined for each SNMP
trap type.
Monitoring center: Monitoring software, e.g. Nagios, Icinga, etc, that
handles the traps using snmptt.
Note: The SNMP traps in this device are sent using SNMP v2, due to
efficiency, security and simplicity reasons. All traps are sent with
snmpinform that tries to confirm the reception of the trap by the
Network Management System (NMS), and resends the trap until a
timeout expires if it receives no confirmation.
