the supported MIBs
• GetNext, which means retrieve the value of the next object in the
MIB

type of significant event occurs
Supported Traps
The agent can send traps when any of the following occur:
• Cold starts (device server initializes)

• Login attempts
• Current threshold for power management
• Temperature threshold for power management
• Link up
