You need to look at the "snmptrapd" receiver, which does have a mechanism for forwarding notifications to another receiver. See snmptrapd.conf(5) > 2.

Does it > imply that the Net-SNMP proxy can be dynamically configured? No. The whole point of the Proxy MIB is to support dynamic (re-)configuration. What I was intending to say was: - the Proxy MIB is designed to support dynamic configuration of "whole packet" proxying. - the Proxy MIB is not designed to support dynamic configuration of "delegated subtree" proxying (as used by the "proxy" directive) Hence the Proxy MIB cannot be used to support dynamic configuration of the Net-SNMP proxy support. > My understanding is that the "proxy" directive in snmpd.conf > can only be read in during the init time, so it can't be configured on > the fly. Is it correct? That's correct. (Well, you could edit the file and signal the agent to re-read it, but that's not really the approach being discussed here). You are perfectly correct - the Net-SNMP proxy support cannot be configured via SNMP SET requests - not using the Proxy MIB (which is not suited to the approach we use), nor any other MIB. Sorry for the ambiguity.
