How exactly have you configured the access control for the agent? [MM]Below is the snapshot of snmpd.conf file. view all included 1 view none excluded 1 access network-admin "" any noauth exact all all all access network-operator "" any noauth exact excIfTable none excLinkUp engineID 800000090300211bffeda1 com2sec community1 default community1 group network-operator v1 community1 group network-operator v2c community1 group network-operator usm user1 rouser user1 createUser user1 view excLinkUp excluded 1.3.6.1.6.3.1.1.5.4 trapsess -v 3 -l noAuthNoPriv -u user1 10.194.58.53:199 view excIfTable excluded 1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2 > But, when some parameters of that MIB is changed, TRAPS are sent indicating > the changed values of that MIB. How have you configured the agent to monitor this MIB? (You must have done something - the agent wouldn't generate traps when values change, unless there's something explicitly set up to do this) [MM]Yes, it is our code that monitors the value changes and calls " send_enterprise_trap_vars" to send out the respective trap. The question is - Where does net-snmp check the notify view before sending a trap to verify whether or not a particular trap is included or excluded, as it does for read view before in case of snmpwalk? > My understanding is that as those MIBS are excluded, > traps should not be sent. > Kindly clarify. Given the vagueness of the description you have provided, it's impossible to say why this is happening, and whether this is the expected behaviour or not. [MM]Hope this helps.
