Introduction to SNMP traps<br />

Explanation of SNMP Traps<br />

SNMP provides the ability to send traps, or notifications, to advise an administration application<br />

when one or more conditions have been met. Traps are network packets that contain data<br />

relating to a <strong>com</strong>ponent of the system sending the trap. Traps are generated when a condition<br />

has been met on the SNMP agent. After the condition has been met, the SNMP agent then forms<br />

an SNMP packet and sends it to UDP port 162. On Windows 2000/NT, <strong>MonitorMagic</strong>, in<br />

<strong>com</strong>bination with the standard SNMP service of Microsoft, is such an agent.<br />

SNMP manager applications are able to receive and interpret these messages, and optionally<br />

perform actions as a result. Examples of such products are: <strong>MonitorMagic</strong> (tools4ever), HP<br />

Openview (Hewlett Packard), NMC4000 (DEVELCON), Compaq Insight Manager (Compaq), and<br />

many more.<br />
