Hi all,

Sorry for this question, I've tried to find some info but failed and I
have minimal exposure to SNMP. It's not directly related to netsnmp,
but is related to SNMPv1.

I have an MIB with a table of alarms (which has dynamic length/rows);
each entry in the table is a sequence of ten different fields. I need
to notify some other (remote) node (that will eventually poll the
table in full - but not regularly) via a trap that one of the table
entries has changed. Is there a normal way to do this?

Is it normal to send a trap having bound variables to each of the
fields in the sequence (with the suffixed table-entry-index on the
OIDs)?

My (very limited) understanding is that sending a trap with bound
variables will update the other end's copy of the variables so that
it's ok to send a trap in the interim before the remote node does a
get/getnext... to update the whole table. Am I barking up the right
tree?

Thanks for any insight,
Doug.
