Outputting system information to the SNMP module

The SNMP module receives the trap information only, and discards the log and debugging information.

To monitor device running status, trap information is usually sent to the SNMP NMS. For this purpose, you must configure output of traps to the SNMP module, and set the trap sending parameters for the SNMP module. For more information about SNMP, see "Configuring SNMP."
