The TR Trap Setup screen has these fields:
■ IP Address—Enter the network address of the
remote network management station to which
traps are to be sent.
■ Community String—Enter a 32-character text
string for authenticating SNMP communication
between the Switch 2000 TR and a remote net-
work manager. The network manager and the
Switch 2000 TR must be configured with the same
string.
The default community string is public.
■ Throttle—Prevents a remote network manager
from receiving too many traps at the same time.
You can configure the Switch 2000 TR to transmit
traps within a specific delay time period known as
a throttle. The unit of throttle is one thousandth of
a second. The default value is 100, which provides
a delay of one-tenth of a second between each
transmission.
