Hi! NetSNMP does not support multicast addresses. A valid use could be for snmptrapd to listen to a multicast address. I have a patch for this:
https://github.com/vincentbernat/net-snmp/compare/feature/snmptrapd-multicast The patch is quite ugly since it modifies snmptrapd while it should modify the transport logic but it is only here for demonstration purpose. The code should be moved in snmpUDPIPv4BaseDomain.c. Would such a feature acceptable for NetSNMP? I have googled a bit and found an answer from Wes saying no: http://www.mail-archive.com/net-snmp-coders@lists.sourceforge.net/msg12485.html Is the answer still actual? -- Make sure input cannot violate the limits of the program. - The Elements of Programming Style (Kernighan & Plauger) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
