Hello, Here is the clarification http://www.net-snmp.org/docs/man/snmp_trap_api.html. I just would like to clarify a detail of that manual, to be exact *send_v2trap() call. *the description: ...* **uses the supplied list of variable bindings to form an SNMPv2 trap, which is sent to SNMPv2-capable sinks on the configured list. An equivalent INFORM is sent to the configured list of inform sinks. Sinks that can only handle SNMPv1 traps are skipped.* ... What does *"Sinks that can only handle SNMPv1 traps are skipped" *mean? "sinks" word is sinks pointed by trapsink directive in configuration file? So it means that in case of send_v2trap(): in this case 1. a trap will not be delivered to localhsot *trapsink localhost* 2. a trap will be delivered to localhost in v1 and v2 format, is it OK? *trapsink localhost* *trap2sink localhost informsink localhost * Probably I did not correctly understand because during testing the first case mentioned above I found out that send_v2trap() call only sends trap v1 to localhost. Can you please clarify the main different between send_v2trap() and send_trap_vars()/send_easy_trap()/...? I think that there is no one except presentation of parameters... -- /BR, Alexander ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Net-snmp-users mailing list [email protected] Please see the following page to unsubscribe or change other options: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/net-snmp-users
