- Link Local--The IPv6 address uniquely identifies hosts on a single network link. A link local address has a prefix of FE80, is not routable, and can be used for communication only on the local network. Only one link local address is supported. If a link local address exists on the interface, this entry replaces the address in the configuration.
- Global--The IPv6 address is a global Unicast IPV6 type that is visible and reachable from other networks.
- Link Local Interface--Select the link local interface (if IPv6 Address Type Link Local is selected) from the pull-down list.
- Recipient IP Address--Enter the IP address of where the traps are sent.

- Retries--Enter the number of times that the device resends an inform request. Retries: Range 1-255, default 3
- User Name--Select from the drop-down list the user to whom SNMP notifications are sent. In order to receive notifications, this user must be defined on the SNMP User page, and its engine ID must be remote.
- Security Level--Select how much authentication is applied to the packet.
NOTE The Security Level here will depend on which User Name was selected. If this User Name was configured as No Authentication, the Security Level will be No Authentication only. However, if this User Name has assigned Authentication and Privacy on the User page, the security level on this screen can be either No Authentication, or Authentication Only, or Authentication and Privacy.
The options are:
• No Authentication--Indicates the packet is neither authenticated nor encrypted.• Authentication--Indicates the packet is authenticated but not encrypted.• Privacy--Indicates the packet is both authenticated and encrypted.
