Both pass-through scripts and snmptrap have command line arguments that let you pass in an ASCII string representation of an IP address, such as "127.0.0.1". All I'm wanting to do is the same thing, but with an IPv6 address as an argument (so passing in "::1", for example). As for an example of a failing snmptrap command, if you pass it an IPv6 address agrument with a type of "a" then it returns "Bad value notation (::1)". From what I've learned this is expected because the type of "a" is only for IPv4. I'm using net-snmp version 5.5, soon to change to 5.5.1. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ AppSumo Presents a FREE Video for the SourceForge Community by Eric Ries, the creator of the Lean Startup Methodology on "Lean Startup Secrets Revealed."
