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

variables.

workstation) in the associated Trap Recipient field. Use 32 or fewer alphanumeric characters.
HP recommends that the IP address be used.

decimal port number in the associated UDP Port Number field to override the default.
