About SNMP notifications
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is a network protocol to simplify the management of remote network-attached devices such as servers and routers. SNMP is an open standard system management interface. Information from the Management Information Base (MIB) can also be exported.
SNMP traps enable the reporting of a serious condition to a management station. The management station is then responsible for initiating further interactions with the managed node to determine the nature and extent of the problem.
