9.1 Sending Traps
If unusual events occur during normal operation of the device, they are
reported immediately to the management station. This is done by means of
what are called traps - alarm messages - that bypass the polling procedure
("Polling" means querying the data stations at regular intervals). Traps make
it possible to react quickly to critical situations.
Examples of such events are:
a hardware reset
changes to the configuration
segmentation of a port
…
Traps can be sent to various hosts to increase the transmission reliability for
the messages. A trap message consists of a packet that is not
acknowledged.
The device sends traps to those hosts that are entered in the trap destination
table. The trap destination table can be configured with the management
station via SNMP.
