SYNOPSIS
snmptrap -v 1 [common options] [-Ci] enterprise-oid agent generic-trap
specific-trap uptime [oid type value...]

DESCRIPTION
The snmptrap utility is an SNMP application that uses the SNMP TRAP
operation to send information to a network manager. You can specify one
or more object identifiers (OIDs) on the command line. A type and a
value must accompany each object identifier. Each variable name must be
entered in the format specified in snmp_variables(4).
When invoked as snmpinform, or when you specify the -Ci option to
snmptrap, it sends an INFORM-PDU, expecting a response from the trap
receiver, and retransmitting if required. Otherwise, it sends a TRAP-
PDU or TRAP2-PDU.
If any of the required version 1 parameters—enterprise-oid, agent, and
uptime—are specified as empty, they default 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, the following command sends a generic linkUp trap to man‐
ager, for interface 1:
# snmptrap -v 1 -c public manager enterprises.spider test-hub 3 0 ''
interfaces.iftable.ifentry.ifindex.1 i 1
OPTIONS
The following option is supported:
-Ci

In addition to this option, snmptrap takes the common options described
