[SNMP4J] Sending custom SNMP Traps

[Frank Fock]

Hi Pathmasri,

To get your own OID, you will first need to register at the IANA
to get an enterprise OID for your company (if you not already have
one). Then you create a MIB module with your notification specification
in a sub-tree below that enterprise OID.

You can use MIB Designer to easily create a MIB specification using a
wizard to get a syntactically correct and well defined MIB structure:

Best regards,
Frank
