[f-nsp] loopback interface as source for snmp

[Mario Apitz]

hi mark,

yes i tried this. that's exactly how the bigiron behaves.
i sniffed the packets, because i was wondering about missing answers
from 10.10.1.1 .

snmptraps are working pretty fine, due to the
config line

snmp-server trap-source loopback 1


do you have any further ideas?

kind regards,

  Mario
