Setting SNMP Trap Sinks
A trap sink defines a host and a community string pair. When a trap event occurs the SNMP agent
sends out a trap to each host in the trap sink list using the community string. This section shows you
how to configure a trap sink list, by removing, enabling, disabling, and adding SNMP servers
(hosts) to be included in the list.
The SNMP Trap Sinks panel lists configured SNMP servers, their type-version (type of security
implemented as related to the version of SNMP), if SNMP management is enabled or not, and the
community configuration. For more information on the available SNMP traps, see Available Traps
on page 234.
