19 snmptrap is an SNMP application that uses the SNMP TRAP operation to
20 send information to a network manager. One or more object identifiers
21 (OIDs) can be given as arguments on the command line. A type and a
22 value must accompany each object identifier. Each variable name is
23 given in the format specified in variables(5).
24
25 When invoked as snmpinform, or when -Ci is added to the command line
26 flags of snmptrap, it sends an INFORM-PDU, expecting a response from
27 the trap receiver, retransmitting if required. Otherwise it sends an
28 TRAP-PDU or TRAP2-PDU.
29
30 If any of the required version 1 parameters, enterprise-oid, agent, and
31 uptime are specified as empty, it defaults to 1.3.6.1.4.1.3.1.1 (enter‐
32 prises.cmu.1.1), hostname, and host-uptime respectively.
33
34 The TYPE is a single character, one of:
35 i INTEGER
36 u UNSIGNED
37 c COUNTER32
38 s STRING
39 x HEX STRING
40 d DECIMAL STRING
41 n NULLOBJ
42 o OBJID
43 t TIMETICKS
44 a IPADDRESS
45 b BITS
46 which are handled in the same way as the snmpset command.
47
48 For example:
49
50 snmptrap -v 1 -c public manager enterprises.spider test-hub 3 0 ''
51 interfaces.iftable.ifentry.ifindex.1 i 1
52
53 will send a generic linkUp trap to manager, for interface 1.
54
56 snmptrap takes the common options described in the snmpcmd(1) manual
57 page in addition to the -Ci option described above.
58
60 snmpcmd(1), snmpset(1), variables(5).
