3.3. Generating a Response

The procedure for generating a response to a SNMPv2 management request is identical to the procedure for transmitting a request (see Section 3.1), with these exceptions:

1. In Step 1, the dstParty component of the responding SnmpMgmtCom value is taken from the srcParty component of the original SnmpMgmtCom value; the srcParty component of the responding SnmpMgmtCom value is taken from the dstParty component of the original SnmpMgmtCom value; the context component of the responding SnmpMgmtCom value is taken from the context component of the original SnmpMgmtCom value; and, the pdu component of the responding SnmpMgmtCom value is the response which results from applying the operation specified in the original SnmpMgmtCom value.

2. In Step 7, the serialized SnmpPrivMsg value is transmitted using the transport address and transport domain from which its corresponding request originated - even if that is different from the transport information recorded in the local database of party information.
