Traps

If a special event occurs in a network component, then the SNMP agent can
send a message to one or more managers to inform them of the event. Such
messages are called traps in SNMP. The manager can react to events in the
network based on the incoming trap. A trap can be uniquely identified with the
trap ID and MIB OID.
I
In WBEM (Web-Based Enterprise Management) environments CIM
providers send events as CIM indications. CIM indications largely
correspond to the traps defined in the SC2.MIB. However, depending on
the CIM providers installed in a management environment, there may be
some events (traps) defined in the SC2.MIB for which no corresponding
indications are sent.
