Computers are clever - they can do more than one thing at once :-) It is perfectly feasible to run an SNMP agent and a trap receiver on the same box. Remember - a role is associated with an *application*, not a computer. So the "notification receiver" would be "snmptrapd-running-on-B" rather than simply "computer B" > If I not misunderstood your answer A and B can be both generator and > receiver at the same time, Yes - see above.
