Hi All,

I would like to understand messages exchanged between manager and agent
during snmpv3-inform.
Following is my understanding
Msg1. Agent to manager : Request for engineID
Msg2. Manager to Agent : Response with engineID
Msg3. Agent to Manager :  Send snmpv3 trap to manager
Msg4. Manager to Agent :  Send ACK to agent on authenticating and receiving
snmpv3 trap

*Query:*
Varbinds in Message #3 and #4  are same. Varbinds of
Message#3(informRequest) is trap, but why manager sends same varbinds back
to Agent in Message#4 (get-response)

I used following example
~$ *snmptrap -Ci -v 3 -n "" -a MD5 -A testinginform -l authNoPriv -u testpu
172.168.4.190  69 .1.3.6.1.4.1.8072.2.3.1 .1.3.6.1.4.1.8072.2.1.1 i 22*
read_config_store open failure on /var/lib/snmp/snmpapp.conf
read_config_store open failure on /var/lib/snmp/snmpapp.conf
read_config_store open failure on /var/lib/snmp/snmpapp.conf
~$

Thank you,
Pushpa Thimmaiah
