Specifying Trap Managers
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 EliteView). You can specify up to five management
stations that will receive authentication failure messages and other trap
messages from the switch.
Command Attributes
• Trap Manager Capability – Indicates that the switch supports up to
five trap managers.
• Current – Displays a list of the trap managers currently configured.
• Trap Manager IP Address – IP address of a new management station
to receive trap messages.
• Trap Manager Community String – Specifies a valid community
string for the new trap manager entry. Though you can set this string
in the Trap Managers table, we recommend that you define this string
in the SNMP Protocol table as well.

manager.

trap managers whenever authentication of an SNMP request fails.
