[SNMP4J] Sending Traps using snmp4j-agent library

[Frank Fock]

Hi Pidarp,

The TestAgent is capable of sending out traps
(it actually does with its default config).
If you cannot see the trap with your sniffer
then
(a) you are sniffing on the wrong interface
(b) your OS does not support sniffing on the
interface the agent uses
(c) your agent configuration has an error

Best regards,
Frank
