JViews TGO provides another concept of alarm that is based on RFC 1157 - A Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). Basically, a trap represents something unusual that occurs in an object. Traps, as well as alarms, are represented graphically using the alarm balloon and alarm count decorations. The graphical cues described in the Graphical Cues for Alarm States are also valid when representing traps. Another similarity with alarms is the concept of new, acknowledged and outstanding traps, which were explained in Alarm State Details.
