Kevin,
I can't speak to your non-cisco devices, but in the cisco switches, you
need to have some config lines that look like the following:
snmp-server community "READONLY Community String" ro
snmp-server community "READWRITE Community String" rw
snmp-server host "TRAP RECEIVER IP ADDRESS" "TRAPRECIEVER COMMUNITY STRING"
snmp-server host "ANOTHER TRAP RECEIVER IP ADDRESS" "ANOTHER TRAPRECEIVER
COMMUNITY STRING"
The snmp-server community lines define what community string is required for
a management system to poll the device, the snmp-server host lines tell the
switch where to send it's traps, if the lines don't exist, the switch
doesn't send traps.
Good Luck,
Bill
