The snmptrap utility is an SNMP application that uses the SNMP TRAP operation to send information to a network manager. You can specify one or more object identifiers (OIDs) on the command line. A type and a value must accompany each object identifier. Each variable name must be entered in the format specified in snmp_variables(4).
When invoked as snmpinform, or when you specify the -Ci option to snmptrap, it sends an INFORM-PDU, expecting a response from the trap receiver, and retransmitting if required. Otherwise, it sends a TRAP-PDU or TRAP2-PDU.
If any of the required version 1 parameters---enterprise-oid, agent, and uptime---are specified as empty, they default 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
For example, the following command sends a generic linkUp trap to manager, for interface 1:
# snmptrap -v 1 -c public manager enterprises.spider test-hub 3 0 '' interfaces.iftable.ifentry.ifindex.1 i 1
The following option is supported:
-Ci
Sends an INFORM-PDU, as described above. Applies only to snmptrap. This option provides the equivalent function of snmpinform.
In addition to this option, snmptrap takes the common options described in the snmpcmd(1M) manual page.
