Note: This example illustrates how to configure an SNMPv2 trap notification. Creating an
SNMPv1 or v3 Trap, or an SNMPv3 Inform notification would require using the same commands
with different parameters, where appropriate. Always ensure that v1/v2 communities or v3 users
used for generating traps or informs are pre-configured with enough privileges to access
corresponding MIBs.
