I've seen those already and they are by default enabled on the switch, but I've already dug thru the manual and on the bottom of page 14-17 it says:
In addition, you can enable the switch to send the following types of notifications to configured trap receivers. For information on how to configure each notification, refer to the ProCurve software guide under which the notification is listed.
And then it lists a bunch of topics in various manuals where they can be configured, however when I go and look into the other manuals they make either vauge one line references to SNMP or no references at all.
