15.7. Traps

We have defined two traps in our MIB, but we will not be discussing how to send these traps in this chapter. In Chapter 14 we discussed the use of the snmptrap utility to send traps for us, and in Chapter 7 we explained how to use a log event to trigger an SNMP trap. Just keep in mind that the traps we have defined in our LAD-MIB are not generated by the SNMP agent. They are generated through the logging subsystem from events recorded by the ladd daemon, itself.
