SNMP trap

hi all,

Can packets be trapped and traced to where it is coming from via an snmp trap. Also should it be placed before the router in the local subnet ?
Also can it be used to stop ip spoofing?

Can you expand on this a little further? are you getting at using something like a SPAN monitor session? or am I way of the mark,

can you explain cleary what you are trying to achive then maybe we can direct you from there.

No. An SNMP trap is a signal from a device to an SNMP management station. The name "trap" fools some people.
