Hmmm...

I don't recall the Router/Switch having an ability to
actually collect traps in the same manner as a
full-scale NMS.

Now I use SNMP quite a bit and have for a while, but
maybe I just have tunnel vision here.

Typically I set up a device to do one of two things or
both:

1. Send traps to an NMS.

2. Configure the device to be accessible by an NMS or
like like application.

Perhaps there is a third usage, but I am not aware of
it. What is the link you are referring to?
