Trap without snmp-server enable

Hi,

Testing this statement:

=====================
However, some notification types cannot be controlled with the snmp-server enable command. For example, some notification types are always enabled. Other notification types are enabled by a different command. For example, the linkUpDown notifications are controlled by the snmp trap link-status command. These notification types do not require an snmp-server enable command.

=====================

revealed that it does not work that way. At least not on (C7200-JS-M), Version 12.2(15)T14.

Traps for link up/down are sent only if 'snmp-server enable traps' are entered.

Do you have a different experience?

The test consist of shut/no sht the interface fastethernet of CAT-2 connected to R11's fa0/0.
R11 should send a trap to R2.

Before enabling snmp-server enable trap:

Extended IP access list 140
    10 permit udp any any eq snmptrap log-input (13 matches)
    20 permit ip any any (15 matches)
Rack2R2#sh access-list
Extended IP access list 140
    10 permit udp any any eq snmptrap log-input (13 matches)
    20 permit ip any any (15 matches)
Rack2R2#sh access-list
Extended IP access list 140
    10 permit udp any any eq snmptrap log-input (13 matches)
    20 permit ip any any (15 matches)

After enabling snmp-server enable trap:

Extended IP access list 140
    10 permit udp any any eq snmptrap log-input (14 matches)
    20 permit ip any any (15 matches)
Rack2R2#sh access-list
Extended IP access list 140
    10 permit udp any any eq snmptrap log-input (15 matches)
    20 permit ip any any (15 matches)
Rack2R2#sh access-list
Extended IP access list 140
    10 permit udp any any eq snmptrap log-input (17 matches)
    20 permit ip any any (15 matches)

Config:

snmp-server host 148.5.2.1 Community
snmp-server enable trap
int fa 0/0
snmp trap link-status
