how can I attach a Format to an snmp trap?

[Noam Wolf]

Hi Frank

First, I would like to thank you - my agent works just fine on NT and
Solaris!

My question is, when I send a trap, I use the NotificationOriginator's
function "generate" as follows:

newTrap.generate(vbx, 3, "tcp connection overload"); //newTrap is of type
NotificationOriginator

The trap is sent, but without a Format attached. I thought the attached
string (in this case,  "tcp connection overload") is the format that
describes the trap. Do I have to add the trap pdu a string that describes
the trap, or is there a more "elegant" way?

Thanks,
