Specifying Trap Managers and Trap Types
Traps indicating status changes are issued by the switch to specified trap
managers. You must specify trap managers so that key events are reported
by this switch to your management station (using network management
platforms such as SMC EliteView). You can specify up to five
management stations that will receive authentication failure messages and
other trap messages from the switch.
