NAME

       snmptrap, snmpinform - sends an SNMP notification to a manager

SYNOPSIS

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

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

       snmpinform -v [2c|3] [COMMON OPTIONS] AGENT 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  format  specified
       in variables(5).

       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.  Note that snmptrap REQUIRES  an argument specifying the agent  to  query  as  described
       there.
