Well, have you been able to test the SNMP Trap Receiver according to the above mentioned article?

"Testing a SNMP Trap Receiver sensor" works. remote trap receiver(192.168.1.254) receives traps.

If the receiver set PRTG 192.168.1.1 In the log sensor messages are written Status Notify | Message 1: 1: 192.168.1.1: 1.3.6.1.4.1.32446.1.1.4

but if you send a trap from a remote PC, it does not get prtg. In wireshart shows that the drain comes. snmptrap -c public -v 2c 192.168.1.1 "2" 1.3.6.1.4.1.32446.1.1.4

Server PRTG (Windows 7) netstat -ano UDP 0.0.0.0:162 *:* 1664 netstat -nab UDP 0.0.0.0:162 *:* [PRTG Probe.exe]

sorry, using snmp v2, set in the settings of the switch v1, and it worked. Tell me more, information about the trap is recorded in the log sensor. As for the trap set alarm?

Setting the Trap Sensor to alarm according to the message in a trap is not possible. Only a Warning state can be enabled in the Settings of the Trap Sensor (and the Change Trigger fired).

a trap to collect the general OID 1.3.6.1.4 * possible, or only full 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.2.2.1.1.20.13?

Wildcards or enterprise-OIDs are not possible. It has to be the explicit OID of a variable binding.
