Actually, this might not require any work. Ipv6Address is
TEXTUAL-CONVENTION, which maps to OCTET_STR, which is 's' on the
command line.
Lo and behold, this works:
$ sudo snmptrap -M +$PWD -m all -v2c -c public fallout ''
NOTIFICATION-TEST-MIB::demo-notif IF-MIB::linkUp s ::1
$ echo $?
0
$
I still think that there should be an extension via an RFC and/or
net-snmp to add strictness to the data type, but there's nothing
holding you back from trapping notifications.
I'll create a patch to improve the documentation though.
Thanks,
