Use of Traps 1

[LanderIndra]

Hi all, I'm new at this forum and I have some rookie questions
I have to send information about some parameters and there are thousands of possibilities so I can't define a trap for every single situation. Is it possible to insert a variable text in a trap in the moment I'm sending it or every trap must be defined in the MIB with a particular text?

Thanks in advance.
Lander.

Traps can be defined with bound variables (varbinds) that are sent with the trap. The varbinds can be any of the standard SNMP data types, including an octet string, so yes, a trap can certainly include a text string passed as a variable.
