Magnus Fromreide, Good point. As per http://www.ops.ietf.org/lists/v6ops/v6ops.2002/msg00269.html, it looks like then, in this case, the best thing to do is fill the agent-addr field with 0.0.0.0, no?

A v1-trap contains an agent address. That field is defined as a IPv4 address so you can't give it a IPv6 address. No, we can't change this since the protocol is broken here. I suppose this is one of the reasons that SNMPv2 came along. /MF This e-mail and any files transmitted with it may be proprietary and are intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.
