The two sides of the conversation need to agree on the engineID to use. This is basically down to the system administrator (you!) configuring the two applications correctly. Note that this is only a problem with *trap* (i.e. unacknowledged) notifications, where the "authoritative SNMP engine" is the sender. Informs (i.e. acknowledged notifications) work in the same way as GET* requests - the sender will first probe the receiver (which is the authoritative side of the conversation) to determine the engineID to use. This is handled automatically by the Net-SNMP software. But for traps, it's not - you have to configure things yourself.
