This read-write value sets the minimum number of seconds the card must wait between sending successive ILMI-related traps, throttling how frequently trap notifications are sent. An administrator raises this value to reduce trap flooding toward a management station during a period of repeated ILMI events, at the cost of slightly delayed notification of each new event. For example, setting minTrapInterval to 10 ensures no more than one trap per port is sent every ten seconds even if multiple ILMI state changes occur in that window.
