4.2 Using the Trap Sender and Trap Receiver Programs

Table 4–4 Parameters for the snmp_trapsnd Command

Parameter	Description
enterprise	For SNMP Version 1, specifies the enterprise object identifier (OID) on whose
	behalf the trap is being sent. For example, 1.3.6.1.4.1.1. If you specify 0 or 0.0,
	the null OID (0.0) is sent. Make sure that any OID you specify conforms to the
	OID rules.
	For SNMP Version 2, when specified with the -v2cflag, represents the value of
	snmpTrapOID.0.
agent	For SNMP Version 1 traps. Specifies the host name or IP address of the entity on
	whose behalf the trap is being generated. You can specify the name local, which
	is the same as specifying 0, 0.0, 0.0.0, or 0.0.0.0. In these cases, the address
	0.0.0.0 is sent as the agent address in the SNMP Version 1 trap PDU.
	If the -v2cflag is specified, this parameter is ignored.

generic-trap

For SNMP Version 1, specifies the generic trap identifier in the form of a number. Must be one of the following values:

	SNMP Version 1
	Value	Object
	0	coldStart
	1	warmStart
	2	linkDown
	3	linkUp
	4	authenticationFailure
	5	egpNeighborLoss
	6	enterpriseSpecific
	For SNMP Version 2, when the -v2cflag is specified, this parameter must
	contain a valid OID or 0 as the value of snmpTrapOID.
specific-trap	For SNMP Version 1, specifies the enterprise-specific trap number. A numeric
	value greater than 0 must be present but is ignored if the -v2cflag is present or
	if generic-trapis a value other than 6 (enterpriseSpecific).
timeticks	Specifies the timestamp value associated with the generation of the trap
	message. The timestamp value is the current time in units of TIMETICKS
	(1/100 of a second) since the sending SNMP entity started. A value of 0 causes
	snmp_trapsnd to send the time in hundredths of a second since the operating
	system was last booted.
variable_name	Specifies a list of MIB variables to be included in the trap message. For a list of
data-type value	supported values, including a value for the Counter64 data type, see Table 4–3.
