       agent generic-trap  specific-trap  uptime  [objectID  type

DESCRIPTION

       Snmptrap is an SNMP application that uses the TRAP Request
       to send information to a network  manager.   One  or  more
       fully  qualified  object identifiers can be given as argu­
       ments on the command line.  A type and a value must accom­
       pany  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,  retransmit­
       ting  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

       For example

       snmptrap -v 1 manager public enterprises.spider test-hub 3
       0 '' interfaces.iftable.ifentry.ifindex.1 i 1

       will send a generic link-up trap to manager, for interface
       1.

       packet, an error packet will be  returned  and  a  message
       will be shown, helping to pinpoint in what way the request
       was malformed.  If  there  were  other  variables  in  the
       request,  the request will be resent without the bad vari­
       able.
