==== Proxy agents ==== An SNMPv2 agent can act as a proxy agent on behalf of SNMPv1-managed devices. When an SNMPv2 NMS issues a command intended for an SNMPv1 agent it sends it to the SNMPv2 proxy agent instead. The proxy agent forwards <code>Get</code>, <code>GetNext</code>, and <code>Set</code> messages to the SNMPv1 agent unchanged. GetBulk messages are converted by the proxy agent to <code>GetNext</code> messages and then are forwarded to the SNMPv1 agent. Additionally, the proxy agent receives and maps SNMPv1 trap messages to SNMPv2 trap messages and then forwards them to the NMS.
