SMUX peers

A SNMP Multiplexing (SMUX) peer, such as gated, when started, will establish the connection to TCP 199 and will initialize the SMUX association.

Following the initialization, the SMUX peer will register the MIB subtrees it is going to manage.

After the registration, the SMUX peer is ready to accept any incoming request from the SMUX server and send responses back. When the SMUX peer receives a request, it will process the request and send a response back the SMUX server.

The SMUX peer can also send a trap to the SMUX server. If a trap is sent, the SNMP agent will check the /etc/snmpdv3.conf file to determine the IP address or addresses to which the trap must be forwarded, and it will send the trap to those addresses.
