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 (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
       INFORM PDUs. If AGENT is	not an empty string, it	must be	 an  IPv4  ad-
       dress.  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 ''  in-
       terfaces.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.
