An SNMP Trap in network management serves as an unsolicited message from an SNMP agent to a management station, indicating that a specific event or threshold has been reached. This is crucial for immediate notifications without the need for the manager to poll the device. For example, Traps can inform the manager about device resets, link status changes, or unauthorized access attempts, enabling rapid response to issues. The incorrect answers describe aspects not attributed specifically to Traps but rather to different SNMP operations or general network procedures.
