a. Click the Enable Authentication Traps check box to enable or disable
transmission of SNMP trap messages to configured recipients.

fewer alphanumeric characters in the associated Community Name field.
The community name is incorporated in SNMP trap messages to ensure
against unauthorized viewing or use.
c. Click the check box in the Write Authorization column to enable or
disable write authorization for the trap recipient (default is disabled). A
check mark in the box indicates write authorization is enabled. When the
feature is enabled, a management workstation user can change
sysContact, sysName, and sysLocation SNMP variables.
