Newbie question: generating v3 trap

OK, now our question:

The SNMP-TARGET-MIB is not supposed to be changed from within
an agent. Although this can be done, it is better design to let the end-user
choose whether she wants to get v1, v2c, or v3 traps or informs.

Since there could be only one instance of the SNNP-TARGET-MIB in
an agent, you can access its objects through its singleton pointers, for
example:

MibLeaf* r = snmpTargetParamsEntry::instance->find("1.3.6....");
or
MibLeaf* r = snmpTargetParamsEntry::instance->get(col, row);

Hopes that answers your question?

Regards,
Frank
