SNMPTRAP(1)                                   Net-SNMP                                   SNMPTRAP(1)



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 com‐
       mand 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.ifen‐
       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.  Note that snmptrap REQUIRES  an argument specifying the agent to
       query as described there.
