That is a good question. I know udp will work. You'd have to test TCP (and make sure tcp was enabled in the agent at configure time). I'm also unclear on whether or not using tcp would create/tear-down a connection for each trap, or establish the connection once. You'd have to do some testing.

Since it's just forwarding a standard SNMP trap, the best example would be a pared-down version of snmptrapd. -- Robert Story; NET-SNMP Junkie Support: <http://www.net-snmp.org/> <irc://irc.freenode.net/#net-snmp> Archive: <http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?forum=net-snmp-coders> You are lost in a twisty maze of little standards, all different. ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.
