Selecting Trap in the left panel of the Options tab provides the following view, where you can set trap options for ExtremeCloud IQ Site Engine.
SNMP traps are messages a device sends to ExtremeCloud IQ Site Engine to indicate its status. Using traps, a network manager can monitor a large number of devices simultaneously without needing to poll them individually.
