Re[2]: snmpTrapOID
Dear Sir!

From RFC 1448:
The second variable is snmpTrapOID.0, which contains
the administratively assigned name of the notification.
What does snmpTrapOID->OID should contain? I mean, snmpTrapOID
contains OID, which contains something else.
Should snmpTrapOID point to some variable OID, which is reason of
generating the trap?
Sincerely yours
