Greetings to all!

I would like some explanations, I need concepts to understand
traps.

I know that traps are events not requested and how to know if they
are happing? How to force some traps? How to know if the NMS (Network
Management Station) is receiving the traps?

The softwares are:

Agent: windows xp and net-snmp 5.4.1

NMS: Linux ubuntu and NET-SNMP 5.3.1

After it, other question
is the following:

I saw an example of snmptrapd.conf file

traphandle IF-MIB::linkUp /home/nba/bin/traps up

What will the /home/nba/bin/traps file do? Is
possible this file send a mail to me, for example?

This sample is located in
http://net-snmp.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/TUT:Configuring_snmptrapd#Matching_SNMPv2_OIDs

Thank you very much.

Murilo
