SNMPTRAPD(8)

NAME
       snmptrapd - Receive and log snmp trap messages.

SYNOPSIS
       snmptrapd [ -v 1 ] [ -p ] [ -s ]

DESCRIPTION
       Snmptrapd  is  an  SNMP application that receives and logs
       snmp trap messages sent to the SNMP-TRAP port (162) on the
       local machine.

       If  the -p option is given, snmptrapd will print it's mes-
       sages to the standard output.

       If the -s option is given snmptrapd will use syslog(8)  to
       log  messages.   These  syslog  messages are sent with the
       level of LOG_WARNING, and are if available (usually on 4.3
       systems) are sent to the LOG_LOCAL0 facility.
       Remark:  this  option  is  a  noop.  Writing  to syslog is
       default.

       The option -v 1 should be specified to receive and log  V1
       traps (eg. sent by snmptrap(1) ).
       Remark:  this option is a dummy. V1 traps are the default.

       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.

       Adding a "-d" to the argument list will cause the applica-
       tion to dump input and output packets.
