a) You should not be adding 'sysLocation to the varbind.
b) The linkup trap is defined to have a non-optional varbind
c) The varbind must contain the the value of ifIndex (of the interface that
went up).

SysUpTime is defined as a 'TimeTicks' which is defined as an INTEGER
(0..4294967295),
so what I think you are seeing is a signed interpretation of the value and
not the unsigned
interpretation that it really is. Ie. DON'T print the 32 bit value as a
signed integer!
