SNMPTRAPD(8)SNMPTRAPD(8)NAMEsnmptrapd - Receive and log snmp trap messages.
SYNOPSISsnmptrapd [-h] [-P] [-s] [-p port] [-d] [-e] [-D tokens]
[-l [d0-7]] [-f] [-H] [-a] [-O oidopts] [-C] [-c confFile]
DESCRIPTION
Snmptrapd is an SNMP application that receives and logs
snmp trap messages sent to the SNMP-TRAP port (162) on the
local machine.
The log messages are of the form:
Sep 17 22:39:52 suffern snmptrapd: 128.2.13.41: Cold Start
Trap (0) Uptime: 8 days, 0:35:46
Snmptrapd must be run as root so that UDP port 162 can be
opened.
COMMAND LINE ARGUMENTS-h Print a usage summary and exit.
-P Print the logged messages to stdout.
-p port
Specifies the port to run on, if the default 162 is
not desired.
-s Log the messages to syslog(8). These syslog mes-
sages are sent with the level of LOG_WARNING, and
to the LOG_LOCAL0 facility (by default). The demon
will also fork away from its caller when the syslog
facilities are used. This is the default unless
the '-P' flag is used.
-l [d0-7]
Specifies the syslog facility to use, demon or
local[0-7].
-a makes snmptrapd ignore AuthenticationFailure traps
-d Causes the application to dump input and output
packets.
-D Turn debugging output on.
-f Don't fork away from the caller when using sys-
log().
-O oidopts
Set OID printing options (see snmpcmd(1))
-C Don't read the default set of configuration files.
