RE: snmptrap - I don't understand how SNMPv3 traps are sent by the snmptrap utility.

I ment send traps through the master agent. (not to, sorry)
I know it send it to some managmetn station (could be snmptrapd).
Actually I see know that a master agent does not have to be running on the machin for a trap to be sent by snmptrap.


Thus, the 2nd quesiton arises:
2) if not then how does the snmptrap access the USM and VACM modules?

I check and found that a udp packet is sent to the host, even if I pass an invalid username to the snmptrap utility.
Maybe I don't undestand v3 trap sending flow:
	1) doesn't  the system sending the trap verify that the trap (notificaiton) OID is valid in the View ?(which is associated with a security name, and other stuff)

snmptrap send the message to your snmptrapd!

snmptrap -m ALL -c public -v 2c 10.17.1.100 \
5784081 system.sysName.0 system.sysName.0 s "STRING"

AFAIK snmpd don't receive traps...


Ciao
