There are a couple of reasons why MAC notification traps are preferred over link-up and link-down traps, and why you should always use them whenever possible.
First, FortiNAC-F no longer needs to establish a connection to the infrastructure device each time a link-up or link-down trap is received because the required information is included in the MAC notification trap. This makes database updates faster and demands fewer resources.
Second, hosts and devices that connect through hubs or IP phones will be seen immediately, even if the device they connected to can't generate link-up or link-down traps.
