Display/Modify Trap Communities
View devices that are configured to receive notifications from the Web card, identified by IP address
or hostname, trap listen port and community string. Up to 20 devices may be configured to receive
traps.
Each device is identified by:

• IP address or hostname - the address or name of the device to receive traps (MultiLink server,
Nform server, Network Management System)
• Port - the Trap Listen Port where traps will be sent; use 162 if the host computer uses standard
ports (161/162)
• Community string - the community string used by the IP host for this Entry Number
(case-sensitive, up to 32 characters)
