emergency agent++ question

[Alex Finogenov]

Yael,

It seems to me that all communication is done through the RequestList class,
which specifically uses its 'snmp' member of Snmpx * type. This class also
has a public accessor and mutator for this member: RequestList::set_snmp()
and RequestList::get_snmp().

If you create an Snmpx object using the constructor that Frank proposed, you
can  pass the newly created one to the RequestList::set_snmp(Snmpx *
session). Don't forget to delete the current 'snmp' object (it had to be
passed initially to the setter method, but you can use the accessor to
retrieve the pointer to the object anywhere and delete it).

I have not tried any of this, just looked up in the agent++ source since you
guys are talking about it.

Thanks,
Alex

Hi Frank,

I'm don't think either of these suggestions will help.  
I need to know where it is, in the agent, that you create the socket which
you bind as the listening socket.  If I can access this part of the code, I
can set to it the (source) IP address to use for the socket.

For sending traps, once again I need to see where you create the socket that
you use to send the traps, and created with the same (source) IP address as
above.

is this:  

DLLOPT int send_snmp_request( int sock, unsigned char *send_buf,
			      size_t send_len, Address & address)

The function you were talning about.  or is there really an
snmp::send_snmp_request... I couldn't find it.

Thanks again,

Yael
