• Traps – Traps are sent.
• Informs – Informs are sent
ONLY when v2c is enabled.
Note: The recipient of a trap message
does not send a response to the Switch.
Traps are therefore not as reliable as in-
form messages, which include a request
for acknowledgement of receipt. Inform
messages can be used to ensure that
critical information is received by the
host. However, please note that in-
forms consume more system resources
because they must be kept in memory
until a response is received. Informs
