## NAME
       agentxtrap - send an AgentX NotifyPDU to an AgentX master agent

## SYNOPSIS
       **agentxtrap **[_OPTIONS_] _trap-oid_ [_OID_ _TYPE_ _VALUE_...]

## DESCRIPTION
       **agentxtrap  **issues  an  AgentX  NotifyPDU  to  a master agent. 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)](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/man/variables/5/markdown)_.

## OPTIONS
### -c _
             if the **-c **option is present then the notification is sent in the nondefault  name  con‐
             text.
### -U _
             if the **-U **option is present then that value, parsed as centiseconds, is taken to be the
             sysUpTime field of the application.
### -x _
             if  the  **-x **option is present then contact the AgentX master at ADDRESS and not the de‐
             fault one.

       Additionally all the options described in [_snmpcmd(1)](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/man/snmpcmd/1/markdown)_ under the **MIB PARSING  OPTIONS**,  **LOGGING**
       **OPTIONS **and **INPUT OPTIONS **headers as well as the **-d**, **-D**, **-m **and **-M **options are supported.

       In  _OID_ _TYPE_ _VALUE_ the parsing of the _VALUE_ field is controlled by the _TYPE_ field. The possi‐
       ble values for the _TYPE_ field is one of the following characters:
              **=  **Let _OID_ decide how _VALUE_ should be interpreted
              **i  **INTEGER
              **u  **Unsigned
              **c  **Counter32
              **s  **OCTET STRING of chaacters
              **x  **OCTET STRING, entered as a sequence of optionally space separated hexadecimal digit
                 pairs
              **d  **OCTET STRING, entered as a sequence of space separated decimal digits in the  range
                 0 - 255
              **n  **NULL
              **o  **OBJECT IDENTIFIER
              **t  **TimeTicks
              **a  **IpAddress
              **b  **BITS
       which are handled in the same way as the **snmpset **command.
