Hi,

net-snmp's GET/SET mechanism looks completely separated from the TRAP 
mechanism, which I find quite bizarre.

NET-SNMP claims to be easily extensible with Perl 
(http://net-snmp.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Tut:Extending_snmpd_using_perl)
However, this extension doesn't know what a TRAP is, only handles GET/SET 
commands.

It seems as if I have two options:
A. Write a completely separate Perl daemon that sends traps using Net::SNMP 
(completely separate code for sending TRAPs and handling GETs/SETs??)
B. Write a subagent in C (a separate process that "talks" to snmpd), which 
handles both GETs/SETs & TRAPs. (Is that the common approach?)

Am I missing something?

Thanks

 - Oren
