Transport tweaks

Serving multiple network interfaces

Receive SNMP TRAP/INFORM messages with the following options:

• SNMPv1/SNMPv2c
• with SNMP community “public”
• over IPv4/UDP, listening at 127.0.0.1:162 over IPv4/UDP, listening at 127.0.0.1:2162
• using Asyncio framework for network transport
• print received data on stdout

Either of the following Net-SNMP commands will send notifications to this receiver:

$ snmptrap -v2c -c public 127.0.0.1:162 123 1.3.6.1.6.3.1.1.5.1 1.3.6.1.2.1.1.5.0 s test

$ snmpinform -v2c -c public 127.0.0.1:2162 123 1.3.6.1.6.3.1.1.5.1

Requires Python 3.4 and later!

          'Context %s' % (transportAddress, contextEngineId.prettyPrint(),

    for name, val in varBinds:
        print('%s = %s' % (name.prettyPrint(), val.prettyPrint()))


# Register SNMP Application at the SNMP engine
ntfrcv.NotificationReceiver(snmpEngine, cbFun)

# Run asyncio main loop
loop.run_forever()
