DESCRIPTION

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
