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.
