Thanks for the response, Dave.

On a related topic, when this TRAP-TYPE MIB object is sent in a trap, is th=
e
manager (or agent) expected to perform validation that the variable binding=
s
in the trap conform to the MIB definition ?

I ask this because I'm noticing that I can send and receive (using net-snmp=
)
any variable bindings in the trap even though the VARIABLES clause in the
MIB does not include those MIB objects.

Thanks.
