Hi,

I am testing SNMP agent created with V3 support.

I have configured two inform destinations but not started one of the
destinations trap receiver or removed the network cable from the server PC.
At that time if I start the agent on the Linux target then the agent is not
doing anything. Agent is seems to be waiting for the second destination to
be available until then I am not receiving cold start trap at either of the
destinations. If I restore the communication to another destination then
agent starts functional, I see debug message Net-Snmp 5.7.3 on the target
and then cold start inform is being received at both destinations.

It is possible that one of the inform destination be down and for some
reason the agent gets restarted then we will have no communication from the
agent. This could happen in our environment where we set up primary trap
receiver and back up receiver at different location in case of network
failures.

If I configure both destinations as trap receivers then the agent functions
normally even the other destination is down. I am able to receive informs
if I configure one inform destination and have proper connectivity and
receiver is running, this gives me the impression that agent is setup
appropriately.

Is there any way to make the agent functional with the presence of one
inform receiver and try for the other inform receiver until it is available?


Appreciate your help.

Regards,
Raj.
