I think you're confusing the notion of sending IP address (which is a
function of the underlying operating system's IP stack) with the
notion of AgentAddress in the context of SNMPv1 TRAP PDUs. Presumably
your reference to Net-SNMP supporting this is a reference to the
syntax for sending a v1 trap using the "snmptrap" tool:
-v 1 TRAP-PARAMETERS:
enterprise-oid agent trap-type specific-type uptime [OID TYPE
VALUE]...
This is possible only with v1 traps, because the v1 TRAP PDU is unique
in that it contains an AgentAddress field that carries the IP address
of the sending agent. The IP address in the header of the IP packet
is still the address determined by the IP stack. The AgentAddress
field was removed from the v2 TRAP PDU in order to give all v2 PDUs
the same fields.
You can set the AgentAddress of a v1 TRAP PDU in SNMP4J by calling the
setAgentAddress(IpAddress) method of the PDUv1 class, but be sure
you're doing this for the right reason. Here's a link to the JavaDoc:
http://www.snmp4j.org/doc/org/snmp4j/PDUv1.html#setAgentAddress(org.snmp4j.smi.IpAddress)
public void setAgentAddress(IpAddress agentAddress)
Sets the IP address of the originator system of this SNMPv1 trap. The
default value is 0.0.0.0, which should be only overriden in special
cases, for example when forwarding SNMPv1 traps through a SNMP proxy.
Parameters:agentAddress - a IpAddress
instance.Throws:java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException - if the type
of this PDU is not PDU.V1TRAP.
