I would like to know what is the meaning of the following field in the SNMP trap.
Look
IP = 10.1.1.1 IP-SNMPv1 = 0.0.0.1 Port = 162 Community = testread
What the usage of this IP-SNMPv1?? why it is like 0.0.0.1, what's that, any kind of mask or something? ...
Thanks,
Marco,

I know the meaning of all the other fields, but this IP-SNMpv1= ... I don't know what's its usage. In another software it appears like "V1 additional ip" .. but? why? or for what?
It's necessary to know the trap type to identify what the IP-SNMPv1 means in this case.
Based on what you've shown us, I can only say that it's probably something that is in the "interesting information" part of the SNMP trap PDU. The content of that part depends entirely on the trap type and the SNMP implementation of the sender.
For example, if the trap type was linkUp or linkDown, this would probably be some sort of information to identify _which_ link had the state change. It might even indicate a port number, but the reason it's encoded as an IP address might be to allow the SNMP agent to report the IP address of the associated link if it is known.
In this case what I want to take is the information filteres by the HPOV, to I am connecting to it in order to check that, the original configuration had that 0.0.0.1, but I still don't know its meaning.
probably it is not mask , but translation value; -SNMPv1 agent-addr parameter SHALL be set to the IP address of the SNMP entity in which the notification originator resides..
What I got this is ,that gets the IP address of the originator system of this SNMPv1 trap, if this value is 0.0.0.0
By the way you use SNMP Version 1: SNMP Version 1 (SNMPv1 ) is the initial version of the SNMP protocol. There are typically three communities in SNMPv1: read-only, read-write, and trap.
