clau> I noticed one difference in the 'snmp' command. The 'session'
clau> keyword seems to be gone, and in replacement there is listener,
clau> generator and notifier and responder. What's the usage for each
clau> one?
The 3.0.0 follows the architectural model for SNMP described in RFC
2271. RFC 2271 distinguishes between:
a) command generators (generator)
An application which issues get/getnext/getbulk/set operations.
b) command responders (responder)
An application which responds to get/getnext/getbulk/set
operations.
c) notification originators (notifier)
An application which emits traps and informs.
d) notification receivers (listener)
An application which receives traps and informs.
The terms in brackets are the command options used by Tnm 3.0.0 to
create sessions of that type. BTW, this `modularizations' of SNMP
sessions helps to solve many annoying problems in Tnm 2.1.X where
session configuration options were used with different meanings,
depending on the operation you were doing on the session.
