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 spe-
     cific-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 ac-
     company  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 re-
     ceiver,  retransmitting  if  required.   Otherwise  it sends an TRAP-PDU or
     TRAP2-PDU.

     If any of the required version 1 parameters, enterprise-oid, agent, and up-
     time are specified as  empty,  it	defaults  to  1.3.6.1.4.1.3.1.1  (enter-
     prises.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.

     The  AGENT  argument is only embedded in SNMP TRAP PDUs but not in SNMP IN-
     FORM PDUs. If AGENT is not an empty string, it must  be  an  IPv4	address.
     This  limitation  comes  from RFC 1157, in which the agent address field is
     defined as follows:

	    agent-addr NetworkAddress, -- address of object generating trap

     From RFC 1155:

	    NetworkAddress ::=
		CHOICE {
		    internet IpAddress
		}
	    [ ... ]
	    IpAddress ::=
		[APPLICATION 0] 	 -- in network-byte order
		    IMPLICIT OCTET STRING (SIZE (4))

     An example of how to use snmptrap:

     snmptrap -v 1 -c public manager enterprises.spider test-hub 3 0  ''  inter-
     faces.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.

SEE ALSO
     snmpcmd(1), snmpset(1), variables(5).
