You need to explain what you mean by this.

First, technically speaking, there are NO traps in SNMP V2, because SNMP V2 does
not recognize the trap designation (SNMP type a4) as supported.  SNMP V2
hatched a concept called "notifications" and another called "reports" which were
meant to replace traps.  But no vendors, so far as I know, went along with this
and thus traps are alive and well today.

Second, trapd does have code to recognize when an agent says it is using SNMP V2
as opposed to V1, but there should be no difference in the varbind structure.
They are still "type-length-value" with the encoding done by the same Basic
Encoding Rules of ASN.1.

So unless you can be more specific here, I would suggest opening a problem to
Support.

Subject:  trap daemon: can it receive SNMPv2 and SNMPv1 traps?




Hello,
we have NV 5.1.2.
Is trapd able to receive SNMPv1 as well as SNMPv2 traps in  a correct way?
We are having trouble receiving v2 traps, it looks like that it is not
recognizing all the PDU varbinds.
Thanks for your reply.
