Thanks Neo

Quote:
When a client sends an SNMP trap to a server receiving SNMP trap information, the SNMP community string is not required.
My understanding to client and server are this:

1- Managed station (agent or Network element) can be router, switch, hub, printer, ,,,ect has software called server.

2- Network Managemnet Station (NMS) which is normally PC has got software called client.

3- Managed station (agent) send trap to (NMS).

http://www.comptechdoc.org/os/window.../wtcpsnmp.html
Trap - A command or message used by the agent to inform the manager of a certain event.

A- Now can the client (Manager) send trap to server (managed) ?because my understanding to your explianantion that client (Manager) is able to send trap to server (managed),,,,please correct me

B- What is the meaning of public and private ? why have they got these names ?

NAME
SNMP::Info::Layer2::Airespace - SNMP Interface to Cisco (Airespace) Wireless Controllers AUTHOR
Eric Miller SYNOPSIS
#Let SNMP::Info determine the correct subclass for you. my $airespace = new SNMP::Info( AutoSpecify => 1, Debug => 1, DestHost => 'myswitch', Community => 'public', Version => 2 ) or die "Can't connect to DestHost. "; my $class = $airespace->class(); print " Using device sub class : $class "; DESCRIPTION
Provides abstraction to the configuration information obtainable from Cisco (Airespace) Wireless Controllers through SNMP. For speed or debugging purposes you can call the subclass directly, but not after determining a more specific class using the method above. my $airespace = new SNMP::Info::Layer2::Airespace(...); Inherited Classes SNMP::Info::Airespace SNMP::Info::CDP SNMP::Info::Bridge Required MIBs Inherited Classes' MIBs See "Required MIBs" in SNMP::Info::Airespace for its own MIB requirements.
