Adding Trap Managers
A trap manager is a management station that receives and processes traps. When you configure a trap
manager, community strings for each member switch must be unique. If a member switch has an IP
address assigned to it, the management station accesses the switch by using its assigned IP address.
By default, no trap manager is defined, and no traps are issued.
Follow these steps to add a trap manager and community string.
