Correct - see the FAQ.

The problem with sending a warmStart trap is determining
*when* it is appropriate to do so - i.e. when the agent has been
restarted ===>  with an unchanged configuration <====

If you can come up with an (efficient!) mechanism for determining
that the configuration following the restart is the same as it was
before, then please let us know.



> and if it does not send this trap why it is there in the MIBS ?

Remember that we didn't define this MIB - it's a standard
MIB, containing information that was generally regarded to
be useful.   In particular, it would seem reasonable in general
to distinguish between an agent restarting (but no changes),
and an agent restarting with a new configuration.

   Just because the Net-SNMP agent has difficulty in telling
these two apart - that doesn't mean that everyone else should
be handicapped in the same way.
