Hello,

I'm trying to figure out and test the snmp traps feature on packetfence.  All 
i'm really looking to do is log the switchport and mac address of clients as 
they connect.  I work at a college where we need to shutdown ports because of 
illegal file sharing.  what i'd like to do is be able to instantly search a mac 
address and get the switchport(s) that mac has conected to in the packetfence 
GUI.  

I've installed packetfence and configured SNMP on a test switch, from there 
i've issued debug commands, connected new devices, verified the snmp packets 
were sent from the switch to the packetfence server and then verified in the 
packetfence log the packet was recieved.  See output below of debug output of 
switch and then snmptrapd.log output.  

I'm assuming I dont completely understand how things are supposed to work so if 
anyone could shed some light on this it would be appreciated.  Thank you.
