Traps sending from the Sub AgentX

[Frank Fock]

Hi Anton,

the AgentX subagent uses the SNMP-TARGET-MIB
and SNMP-NOTIFICATION-MIB settings of the master
agent to determine the target address(es) for
a notification. Thus, the master sends the
notification/inform and it is done using the
NotificationOriginator.

Not really. The notification is transferred to the master
and then send in exactly the same way as a local notification.

Then the notification will not be sent.
