Objective

Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) manages the network and the different devices attached to it. SNMP uses traps to catch and notify an event. A SNMP trap notifies you about events that happen in the network. This information is useful as it helps you to better understand the network and to take proper action. This article explains how to enable SNMP traps on the 300 Series Managed Switches.
