Traps are categorized by their severity. Some traps report events that are not problems. An
example of this type of trap is the insertion of a module into a device. These traps have a
severity level of Info. Other traps require more attention, such as the loss of a regular port's
connection. Traps of this type have a severity level of Warning. Finally, there are traps, such as
the failure of a backbone link, which require immediate attention. These traps have a severity
level of Minor, Major, or Critical.
