Net-SNMP                                              SNMPTRAP(1)



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

SYNOPSIS
     snmptrap -v 1 [COMMON OPTIONS]  [-Ci]  enterprise-oid  agent
     generic-trap specific-trap uptime [OID TYPE VALUE]...

     snmptrap -v [2c|3] [COMMON OPTIONS]  [-Ci]  uptime  trap-oid
     [OID TYPE VALUE]...

     snmpinform -v [2c|3] [COMMON OPTIONS] uptime  trap-oid  [OID
     TYPE VALUE]...

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  for-
     mat specified in variables(5).

     When invoked as snmpinform, or when -Ci is added to the com-
     mand line flags of snmptrap, it sends an INFORM-PDU, expect-
     ing 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
