You could use a script and the exec/pass tokens (see snmpd.conf). You don't
really need a MIB to do this.

We'd need to see the trap/inform sink entries from snmpd.conf. You could also
run but snmpd and snmptrapd with -d to see packet dumps and see if packets are
actually flowing.

The correct way to configure trap destinations dynamically would be via the
snmp target and notification MIBs.

You are lost in a twisty maze of little standards, all different.
