I guess it depends on the context, but when configuring a Network Mgmt
Server, like Ciscoworks, insight manager, etc. a SNMP notification
refers to a SMTP email, or pager notification, etc. of a warning, or
critical situation that has occurred, with the NMS learning about it
through various methods, like SNMP polling, or SNMP trap receiving (the
end node sends a trap about an event that has occurred, like a link
down, power supply failure, etc)
Polling is done on a different UDP port, and is done by the NMS
actively, where a "trap" is generated by the end node to the NMS
(Network mgmt server)
Hope that helps...
