Re: [Pysnmp-dev] Pysnmp: Can it receive snmp v3 trap with random engine id

[Ilya E. <il...@gl...>]

There's no need for Notification Receiver to configure Originator's 
EngineID (as Notification Originator is an authoritative entity in SNMPv3
terms).

Therefore I'd advise to fire up your Notification Receiver (without 
having ContextEngineID configured to it) and see if it receives traps 
from your Originator.

Please let me know in case of any issues.
