This is part of the low-level library code. The netsnmp_session structure includes fields for timeout and retry counts - and the agent uses these in exactly the same way as any other Net-SNMP command-line command. See 'snmpcmd(1)' for details. > Then, how can i do in order to monitor if snmpd has an ack or not from > managing station? You can't. The agent API for sending notifications does not distinguish between traps and informs. (Since a single call could easily trigger several separate notifications, using either/both of these styles). There is no feedback as to whether the notifications were successfully sent - let alone acknowledged. The API just isn't designed that way Dave ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
