SNMP traps are event notifications that are sent to a list of responsible parties
that are set up to receive alerts for the managed systems. Any SNMP enabled
device generates Fault Reports (Traps) that are defined in the Management
Information Base (MIB). The trap definition varies with the SNMPv1 and
SNMPv2, which defines the messaging format.
The following table describes the available fields in the SNMP trap
notification entry dialog box.
