You have to declare a trap sink using the function
create_trap_session(). You pass the host, port, community etc. 

To send a trap either use send_easy_trap(), or send_trap_vars() when
you want to pass more information.

FYI: There is a problem using SNMP and DHCP when you have traps or
your own mibs which are not incorporated into the normal snmp
startup. I will put in a bugzilla bug soon.
