No. The truth is that scotty is currently only able to receive traps
from port 162.

Brock> How does the switch know to send the trap to my PC?

Usually vendor specific configuration. There is now a standard MIB for
configuring notification targets, but I suspect that most switches
still use proprietary MIB extensions.

The precise Tcl syntax depends on your scotty version. In Tnm 3.0, you
should be able to do the following:

     set nr [snmp listener]
     $nr bind trap { puts "%V" }

With Tnm 2.1.X, you would do:

     set nr [snmp session]
     $nr bind {} trap { puts "%V" }

/js
