Hello,
I develope a device which should send alarms when something goes wrong. I would like to use snmp and send traps.
I run snmptrapd server.
Then created MIB:
TRAP-TEST-MIB DEFINITIONS ::= BEGIN IMPORTS ucdExperimental FROM UCD-SNMP-MIB;
demotraps OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { ucdExperimental 990 }
demo-trap TRAP-TYPE STATUS current ENTERPRISE demotraps VARIABLES { sysLocation } DESCRIPTION "This is just a demo" ::= 17
END
And finally used command :
snmptrap -v 1 -c public 192.168.1.1 TRAP-TEST-MIB:demotraps 192.168.1.1 6 17 '' SNMPv2-MIB::sysLocation.0 s "Alarm"
Unfortunatelly, man pages and tutorial is poor for me, and I am not able to understand idea of snmp traps and even meaning of parameters for snmptrap.
I would like just to send (alarm code in integer of string) trap to snmptrapd server, when something is wrong with a device.
If you provide me with some good materials or explanation how to do it, I will be glad.
Thanks in advice, Pavel.
