SNMPTRAP(1)                                       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  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  respec-tively. respectively.
       tively.

       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.ifen-try.ifindex.1 interfaces.iftable.ifentry.ifindex.1
       try.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.
