Hi Dave, > What do you mean by "pull a link" ? My apologies. On our board we have optical fibers referred to as links. When a link is pulled its state changes from IN-SERVICE to OUT-OF-SERVICE. The oid associated with this link is of NOTIFICATION_TYPE.

I thought I could just set a value and a trap would be triggered. Is there documentation or a code example of how I can generate a trap? How do I trigger trap generation? My apologies for the confusion. I misunderstood the usage of the NOTIFICATION_TYPE.
