I am an SNMP newbie. I've started a project at work to monitor availability
of services on a server. These services support SNMP v1, but the docs are
pretty slim.

I've been playing around with Net-SNMP and can do a simple SNMP get from my
workstation for the server's name and so on, so I know SNMP works on
it. However, I can't figure out how to receive a trap from the app's agent
on the server. There are too many factors with that configuration to mention
now, so I'd like to pose a simple question.

What is the simplest demonstration of a trap (both sending and receiving)
using the Net-SNMP (http://www.net-snmp.org) tools? Can this be done using
only Net-SNMP tools? I'm using Net-SNMP as it is cross-platform. And yes, it
is open source. ;)

Thanks!
John
