Re: Send trap to subnet

Hi,

I have seen following line in /usr/local/share/snmp/snmpd.conf

# rocommunity: a SNMPv1/SNMPv2c read-only access community name
#   arguments:  community [default|hostname|network/bits] [oid]

I think we can map subnet to community string. Am I right? Please correct
me if I am wrong.
