OpenSAF SNMP "Notifications" are SNMP "traps".

[MATHI]
All MIB objects of type "NOTIFICATION-TYPE" qualify to be implemented as
SNMP traps.
For e.g.:- 
The following is a definition of an object that is sent as an SNMP trap.

Here the SNMP trap saAmfStateChgNodeAdmin  shall carry information about

saAmfNodeName & saAmfNodeAdminState in this trap.

saAmfStateChgNodeAdmin NOTIFICATION-TYPE
        OBJECTS {
                saAmfNodeName,
                saAmfNodeAdminState
         }
        STATUS             current
        DESCRIPTION
           "Triggered when the administrative state of a Node
'saAmfNodeName'
            changes. This Notification also contains the current
administrative state
            of the Node designated by 'saAmfNodeAdminState'."
        ::= { saAmfTraps 7 }


The GROUPS clause ("NOTIFICATION GROUPS or OBJECT GROUPS") are for SMIv2
conformance group containment
and can generally be ignored while browsing a MIB.
