SNMP Traps
A trap is a type of SNMP message. The Switch can send
traps to an SNMP manager when an event occurs.
You can restrict user privileges by specifying which
por¬tions of the MIBs that a user can view. In this way,
you restrict which MIBs a user can display and modify
for better security. In addition, you can restrict the types
of traps users can send as well. You can do this by de-
termining where messages are sent and what types of
messages can be sent per user. Traps indicating status
