The device that is causing the authentication failures is listed in the Trap Details portion of the trap message. In this case it is 10.1.0.10. Since this is the same ip as the device that sent the trap message it means the device is trying to snmp itself. This commonly happens with the Dell or HP server management agents. Usually this can be fixed by configuring Security for the SNMP service on the server to accept packets from the localhost.
