Nah. It just means that we pledge not to use this range ourselves. snmptrap
doesn't care about what specific id you use. Theoretically, you should be able
to use it to duplicate any valid trap. (It won't format invalid ones). To
solve some customer problems I have even gone so far as to (a) turn on the hex
dump of all packets in trapd, (b) pull out a vendor trap from trapd.trace, (c)
translate it by hand, and (d) use the translation to construct an snmptrap
command which would send a duplicate trap. It can do so, even down to the time
stamp, if that is what you want.
