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
R variables(5) .
When invoked as
snmpinform,

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,
R enterprise-oid ,
R agent ,
and
uptime
are specified as empty, it defaults to
R 1.3.6.1.4.1.3.1.1 (enterprises.cmu.1.1) ,
R hostname ,
and
host-uptime
respectively.
