an alert that, under predefined conditions or thresholds, the SNMP agent sends to the SNMP manager
an asynchronous SNMP message usually sent from an SNMP agent to an SNMP manager, indicating that a specific event has occurred
an asynchronous SNMP notification , sent from one SNMP entity (traditionally, an SNMP agent) to another SNMP entity (traditionally, an SNMP manager or management console)
an unsolicited message sent to a notification receiver
an unsolicited message that the SNMP agent sends to the management system if the agent detects certain events on a managed element
A Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) trap is an event generated data block that a network device sends. The manufacturer of a device defines the trap; and the trap definition is contained in the Manufacturing Information Base (MIB) that is associated with a device.
A Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) trap is a block of data generated by a network device. In effect, it acts as a snapshot view of activity at the specific point generating the trap, providing an administrator with detailed information on what is occurring there.
A message from an agent indicating a situation that requires immediate attention. Also known as an alarm or an alert. Administrators select a threshold that determines when a trap will be sent.
A method of asynchronous event notification supported by the Simple Network Management Protocol.
A notification (event) generated by the DRAC 4 or the BMC that contains information about state changes on the managed system or about potential hardware problems.
If your software can generate SNMP traps, it can integrate with other network management software that also uses SNMP. A Trap is pretty much like an alert in the SNMP "language"
