SNMP traps with example EIGRP traps

First lets have a brief background on snmp trap configuration. First need to define a server where traps needs to send, then enabled all or specific trap with command "snmp-server enable traps". 
1. If all traps are enables and no traps are configure with snmp-server host command then all traps are send to that host.
2.If some specific trap is enable and no trap is configure with snmp-server host command then only that specific traps will be send.
3. If all traps are enable with command "snmp-server enable trap" but specific trap is configured with "snmp-sever host" command then only that specific trap will be send.

EIGRP generates traps only for SIA and miss match authentication. The configuration is very straight forward
