For testing purposes, you could use iptables on linux to block the
inform response. Alternatively on the manager system create an
incorrect host route (route via loopback perhaps) to the device
sending the inform. This will send the inform response to a black
hole.
Then again you can take the easy way out and shut off the trap
receiver. That will stop an inform from being sent and you watch the
inform packet arrive via tcpdump or other means of sniffing the wire.
