We use SNMP4J in our SNMP management application and we've recently run into an
issue
The issue is as below: (A: net-snmp B:SNMP4j)
1. A-->B: A send a snmptrap to B with engineBoots and engineTime values with
zero. -- send trap (engineId set but engineBoots and engineTime set to 0)
2. B-->A:
Hi,
For a TRAP or NOTIFICATION PDU, the sender is
authoritative. Thus, A should include its

If your description is correct, then
NET-SNMP has a bug (which I do not

Thus, please check your implementation/configuration.
Best regards,
