NAME
       snmptrap, snmpinform - sends an SNMP notification to a manager

SYNOPSIS
       ssnnmmppttrraapp  -vv 11 [COMMON OPTIONS] [-Ci] enterprise-oid agent generic-trap
       specific-trap uptime [OID TYPE VALUE]...

       ssnnmmppttrraapp -vv [[22cc||33]] [COMMON OPTIONS] [-Ci]  uptime  trap-oid  [OID  TYPE
       VALUE]...

       ssnnmmppiinnffoorrmm  -vv  [[22cc||33]]  [COMMON  OPTIONS]  uptime  trap-oid  [OID  TYPE
       VALUE]...

DESCRIPTION
       ssnnmmppttrraapp 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 variables(5).

       When invoked as ssnnmmppiinnffoorrmm,, or when -CCii 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 (enter-
       prises.cmu.1.1), hostname, and host-uptime respectively.

       The TYPE is a single character, one of:
              ii  INTEGER
              uu  UNSIGNED
              cc  COUNTER32
              ss  STRING
              xx  HEX STRING
              dd  DECIMAL STRING
              nn  NULLOBJ
              oo  OBJID
              tt  TIMETICKS
              aa  IPADDRESS
              bb  BITS
       which are handled in the same way as the ssnnmmppsseett 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.

OOPPTTIIOONNSS
       ssnnmmppttrraapp takes the common options described in  the  snmpcmd(1)  manual
       page in addition to the -CCii option described above.
