Other than deleting the PDU used to send the inform, nothing. AP> - what happens when there is no ACK to an inform trap ? The agent will try to send it a few times (you can set the retry count and timeout values in the session, if you want to change the defaults), then give up. AP> - what is the agent behavior on unconfimed inform trap ? There is no such thing. All informs are confirmed. If you use a trapsink or trap2sink, the agent will send the trap once, and not retry. AP> - upon ACK from an inform trap, can we use this event into a subagent AP> issuing this inform trap ? No, for two reasons. One, the agent doesn't provide a callback for this event. Second, AgentX doesn't specify any type of message for passing this type of information back to the sub-agent. The first problem could theoretically be fixed. The second couldn't. The work-around in the second case would be to send fix the first issue (create and event for inform confirmation), then send the inform directly from the sub-agent, instead of via the master agent. But that raises its own set of issues. -- 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-users> 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.
