[snmp] SNMP V2 Traps

[Birgit Arkesteijn]

Hi Brian,

In Trapv2 the notifications are part of the varbind list.

Have a look at the javadoc for
uk.co.westhawk.snmp.stack.TrapPduv2

Reading http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3418.txt,
I think that the Enterprise field in Trapv1 corresponds with the 
(optional?) snmpTrapEnterprise OID in the varbind list of Trapv2.

The description says:
   "The authoritative identification of the enterprise
   associated with the trap currently being sent. When an
   SNMP proxy agent is mapping an RFC1157 Trap-PDU
   into a SNMPv2-Trap-PDU, this variable occurs as the
   last varbind."


See also "4.2.6.  The SNMPv2-Trap-PDU" of
http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3416.txt

I hope this helps.

Cheers, Birgit
