Can InterMapper send a trap to itself?
The reason I ask, is I have a device which will send a trap to
InterMapper with critical information about another device on my
network. That device is unable to send a trap itself.

In this situation, the device will often send the trap and fill in both the "agent
address" and "sender address" of the trap packet.
The first step in diagnosing this would be to add a device to a test map and use
the SNMP/Trap Viewer probe.
Open the status window, then force a trap to be sent. The Status Window will show
the contents of the trap's fields. (Tip: right-click in the status window and
choose Copy all... to paste into a message.)
Try both addresses: the address of the original device (that can't send the trap)
and the proxy device (that's sending the trap on the other device's behalf).
Please get back to me if you have further questions. Thanks.
