Re: Details about notification

Thank you for this fast reply,

About notification generator and Receiver:

Here is an example with 2 computer A (with Manager) and B (with Agent and
its MIB).
In fact in our method (what we plan), we want to send a message (then wait
for an ack) from A to B, then on B we do not save it in the MIB, but use
directly  by an application running on B (= the received notification by the
agent on B will be write in a fifo, later read by our application).

So, can I send a "snmptrap or inform" from A to B. Usually the generator is
on the Agent side (B) and the snmptrapd daemon (receiver) is on the manager
side (A).

If I not misunderstood your answer A and B can be both generator and
receiver at the same time, which mean the command-line "snmptrap or inform"
can be used either on A or B independantly from the fact that B is normally
the Agent (containing the filled MIB) and A the Manager (having the MIB
structure (OID...) but not filled).


Regards,

Lux
