Andrew, David, Thanks for your answers. I read RFC 1215 and it does mention to use the value of sysObjectID istead of 'snmp(1.3.6.1.2.1.11)' for generic traps.
And I also checked and found out some agents do set their own enterprise oid but it seems that it should be the value of sysObjectID as it is mentioned in RFC. I also noticed one agent set valiable bindings such as ifIndex and ifDescr in LinkUp/Down traps but they are bound with OID like 'ifIndex.10' and 'ifDescr.10'. Is this acceptable? According to RFC 1157, I think they should be only 'ifIndex' and 'ifDescr' (without index key). Norio Nakamoto On Fri, 16 Jul 2004 10:57:40 -0700 "David T.
