About SNMP Notify Filters

Profiles indicating which targets should not receive SNMP notification messages are kept in the
NotifyFilter table. If this table is empty, meaning that no filtering is associated with any SNMP
target, then no filtering will take place. "Traps" or "informs" notifications will be sent to all
destinations in the SNMP targetAddrTable that have tags matching those found in the NotifyTable.
When the NotifyFilter table contains profile entries, the SNMP agent will find any filter profile
name that corresponds to the target parameter name contained in an outgoing notification message.
It will then apply the appropriate subtree-specific filter when generating notification messages.
