SNMP Traps
SNMP Traps are events that we wish to capture on any SNMP enabled device. Some event examples are; a service state (e.g. up/down) on a host, a hardware failure on a server, invalid login attempt on a network device or even a printer being out of paper. The trap requires the device to send a Trap to a SNMP Trap Manager which will be a service/application running on a Host system.
MIBs
MIB is short for Management Information Base. MIBs are files provided by a manufacturer (e.g. Microsoft) to define the attributes of a managed device and the state values for those attributes. MIBs are required to translate the SNMP data coming from the Trap.

SNMP traps are being send to MID server from devices (or MOM) over port 162 and MID server is receiver. You can control events after is landed to event table.
