26 !!DESCRIPTION
27
28
29 Snmptrap is an SNMP application that uses the TRAP Request
30 to send information to a network manager. One or more fully
31 qualified object identifiers can be given as arguments on
32 the command line. A type and a value must accompany each
33 object identifier. Each variable name is given in the format
34 specified in variables(5).
35
36
37 When invoked as ''snmpinform,'' or when -Ci is added to
38 the command line flags of snmptrap, it sends an INFORM-PDU,
39 expecting a response from the trap receiver, retransmitting
40 if required. Otherwise it sends an TRAP-PDU or
41 TRAP2-PDU.
42
43
44 If any of the required version 1 parameters,
45 ''enterprise-oid'', ''agent'', and ''uptime'' are
46 specified as empty, it defaults to ''1.3.6.1.4.1.3.1.1
47 (enterprises.cmu.1.1)'', ''hostname'', and
48 ''host-uptime'' respectively.

51 The ''type'' is a single character, one of:

122
123 ''snmptrap -v 1 manager public enterprises.spider test-hub
124 3 0 '' interfaces.iftable.ifentry.ifindex.1 i
125 1''
126
127
128 will send a generic link-up trap to manager, for interface
129 1.
130
131
132 If the network entity has an error processing the request
133 packet, an error packet will be returned and a message will
134 be shown, helping to pinpoint in what way the request was
135 malformed. If there were other variables in the request, the
136 request will be resent without the bad
137 variable.
