Re^2: SNMP Trap not working with Perl 5.8.3

Hi Yes it is a legal trap. Problem is that the trap is not being generated by originating node. used snoop and sniffer to verify. Even if is not a legal trap, something should be sent. thanks Neil

the last part of the dumb questions -- you do have all the required SNMP libs on the machine you're trying to send traps from .... `[meo@host dir]$ ps ax \| grep sn 617 ? S 0:34 /usr/sbin/snmpd -s -l /dev/null -P /var/run +/snmpd -a` [download] i'd hate for it to be something like that. IIRC, Net::SNMP is an interface to SNMP, not a replacement for SNMP	[reply] [d/l]

Net::SNMP doesn't depend on any SNMP libraries other than itself; it's a full implementation of SNMP. Clearly it can't be a replacement for SNMP, because SNMP is a protocol, while Net::SNMP is a Perl module. Whether or not there is an snmpd process running doesn't have anything to do with either the presence of SNMP libraries or Net::SNMP. Finally, if Net::SNMP (or nearly any Perl module) is missing one of its dependencies, it won't fail silently; it will raise an exception.	[reply]
