We wan to send a SNMP trap with some text (any text) how can we send . I tried below command but not getting text for this what we need to do?

within the snmptrap command you have to specify the OID and the data type for the MIB object you want to respond.

A variable with the OID and the given value will be added to the trap pdu.

To use this variable within Spectrum, in addition the OID has to be mapped to a Spectrum varbind in the AlertMap file. The varbind can be used EventDisp and Event files.

Example for trap:

../snmptrap -h host -p 162 -c alarm 1.3.6.1.4.1.8164.2 10.10.10.10 6 1014 1234 \
 1.3.6.1.4.1.8164.1.48.1.1.3 OctetString vpnnamegedoens \
 1.3.6.1.4.1.8164.1.48.1.1.4 OctetString servnamegedoens \
 1.3.6.1.4.1.8164.1.48.1.1.6 IPAddr "10.10.10.7" \
 1.3.6.1.4.1.8164.1.48.1.1.8 Integer 8080 \
 1.3.6.1.4.1.8164.1.48.1.1.5 IPAddr 10.10.10.2 \
 1.3.6.1.4.1.8164.1.48.1.1.7 Integer 1024

Example for AlertMap:

1.3.6.1.4.1.8164.2.6.1014    0x0fff31d8 1.3.6.1.4.1.8164.1.48.1.1.3(1,0)\
                                        # starSGTPServName
                                        1.3.6.1.4.1.8164.1.48.1.1.4(2,0)\
                                        # starSGTPPeerAddr
                                        1.3.6.1.4.1.8164.1.48.1.1.6(3,0)\
                                        # starSGTPPeerPort
                                        1.3.6.1.4.1.8164.1.48.1.1.8(4,0)\
                                        # starSGTPSelfAddr
                                        1.3.6.1.4.1.8164.1.48.1.1.5(5,0)\
                                        # starSGTPSelfPort
                                        1.3.6.1.4.1.8164.1.48.1.1.7(6,0)

 

Variable names "1" to "6" can be used in Event configuration.
