[SNMP4J] Controlling which local address to use

[Deon van der Merwe]

Hi Gil,

Here is a bit of code that we use for this.  We normally either bind 
on "localhost" or all interfaces.  Should work for as well (I think)...

...
   protected java.lang.String mAddress = null;
   protected int mPort = 0;
   protected org.snmp4j.TransportMapping mServerSocket = null;
   protected org.snmp4j.Snmp mSNMP = null;

...
// read my configuration (like assign "mAddress" and "mPort")
...

   if (mAddress == null) {
     mServerSocket = new 
org.snmp4j.transport.DefaultUdpTransportMapping(new 
org.snmp4j.smi.UdpAddress(mPort));
   } else {
     mServerSocket = new 
org.snmp4j.transport.DefaultUdpTransportMapping(new 
org.snmp4j.smi.UdpAddress(java.net.InetAddress.getByName(mAddress), mPort));
   }
   mSNMP = new org.snmp4j.Snmp(mServerSocket);
   mSNMP.addCommandResponder(this);
   mServerSocket.listen();
