This is really crazy. I just started looking into this problem and this
thread happens to be fresh. I have the same problem, except I need to be
able to specify SNMP Trap UDP source addresses on systems acting as IPSec
VPN gateways.
It's hard to belive that no one has asked for this feature in the years
that Net-SNMP has been around.
In order for my agent to send traps to an NMS on the other side of the
IPSec tunnel, the source address must be that of the ethernet interface
(because OpenBSD IPSec does not allow multiple subnets to match an
interesting traffic list, like Cisco IOS).
Speaking of IOS, Cisco has had an "snmp source-interface" or
"source-address" statement for the last 10 years >:}
"snmp-server trap-source
To specify the interface (and hence the corresponding IP address) that an
Simple Network Management Protocol trap should originate from, use the
snmp-server trap-source global configuration command. Use the no form of
the command to remove the source designation.
"snmp-server trap-source interface"
Release Modification
10.0 This command was introduced. "
What sucks even more is that the OpenBSD 3.7 package binary distribution
of Net-SNMP is rev 5.1.2p1 and per the remark below, the 'clientaddr'
feature was backported to 5.1.3.

The version you sent looks exactly like the current code in 5.1.3 and 5.2.x...

You are lost in a twisty maze of little standards, all different.
