Default Re: SNMP source interface

Redster, what platform are you running on? With IPSO, you can set the "Trap PDU Agent Address"

If you're using SPLAT, then there should be a way to do it - look for the documentation for the net-snmp package.

I'm not quite sure I follow the flow between steps 2 and 3 though - if I send an snmp-get to a node, I don't expect to receive a trap - I just expect to see and snmp response. Traps are for asynchronous events, like a link failure.

I think you would only get a trap in response to an snmp-get if you had the wrong community string, and it responded with an snmp authentication failure.
