DESCRIPTION
snmptrap is an SNMP application that
uses the SNMP TRAP operation to send information to a network
manager. One or more object identifiers (OIDs) can be given as
arguments on the command line. A type and a value must accompany
each object identifier. Each variable name is given in the format
specified in .
When invoked as snmpinform, or when -Ci is added
to the command line flags of snmptrap, it sends an INFORM-PDU,
expecting a response from the trap receiver, retransmitting if
required. Otherwise it sends an TRAP-PDU or TRAP2-PDU.
If any of the required version 1 parameters,
enterprise-oid, agent, and uptime are
specified as empty, it defaults to 1.3.6.1.4.1.3.1.1
(enterprises.cmu.1.1), hostname, and host-uptime
respectively.
The TYPE is a single character, one of:
-
- i
- INTEGER
- u
- UNSIGNED
- c
- COUNTER32
- s
- STRING
- x
- HEX STRING
- d
- DECIMAL STRING
- n
- NULLOBJ
- o
- OBJID
- t
- TIMETICKS
- a
- IPADDRESS
- b
- BITS
which are handled in the same way as the
snmpset command.
For example:
snmptrap -v 1 -c public manager enterprises.spider test-hub 3 0
'' interfaces.iftable.ifentry.ifindex.1 i 1
will send a generic linkUp trap to manager, for interface 1.
OPTIONS
snmptrap takes the common options described
in the snmpcmd(1)
manual page in addition to the -Ci option described above.
