Hi! Sorry my last e-mail. Let me try again: I want to know if the trap was sent by the agent to the NMS. My NMS is Ubuntu Linux and my agent is windows (net-snmp-5.4.1-3.win32.exe). I would like an idea about snmptrap. For example, if I unplug the UTP cable from agent, how the message is

No, by default SNMP is over UDP, which is connectionless. Trying to send a UDP packet might throw or return an error if there's no network interface to send it out on, or might do so pre-sending it if you try to resolve a nonexistant name, but if a UDP packet gets out onto the network it's gone
