V1/V2 Notification Recipients
Trap messages are generated to report system events, as defined in RFC 1215. The system can
generate traps defined in the MIB that it supports.
Trap receivers (aka Notification Recipients) are network nodes where the trap messages are sent
by the device. A list of notification recipients are defined as the targets of trap messages.
A trap receiver entry contains the IP address of the node and the SNMP credentials
corresponding to the version that is included in the trap message. When an event arises that
requires a trap message to be sent, it is sent to every node listed in the Notification Recipient
Table.
