TRAPS....NET-SNMP

[Subhendu Ghosh]

It depends on the trap type that you are interested in.

For link/up downtraps you may want a single passive service check 
specially for routers unless you also have active checks on a per 
interface basis.

link up/down traps for switches are generally a bad idea if they are end 
distribution switches that users are plugged into.  You might want to look 
at the newRoot or topologyChange traps from Spanning Tree for switches.
