I need to convert a working subagent application to migrate from sending

SNMP version 2 traps to version 3 traps.  From what I have read, the

send_v2trap API is equivalent to send_v3trap, other than the latter

having a context argument.

 

So how do I configure my Net-SNMP agent to utilize the send_v2trap() API

calls to send version 3 traps?  Is this something that can be done via
changes

to the configuration files, or are there programmatic APIs that need to be

called to have send_v2trap()  as v3 traps?

 

What API can be used by an external SNMP system manager to learn the

engineID of the trap sender for adding to its local database?   Is this

necessary if the engineID is provided as the "context" argument to the

send_v3trap API?  In general, how do SNMP System Manager's know

apriori the engine ids necessary for receiving v3 traps?
