Simulate SNMP traps to test surveillance
- by jishi
I'm trying to use Net-SNMP on Windows to emulate a trap that should trigger an alarm on our surveillance system.
This is the setup:
Windows 7 client that sends the trap
Net-SNMP as software for sending the trap
Linux with Adventnet ManageEngine OpManager as NMS (not relevant)
This is what I'm trying to accomplish
send trap with OID .1.3.6.1.4.1.5089.1.0.1 (according to the MIB I have loaded into my NMS) and just some sort of message into it to see if I can get any alarm in my NMS. I can see that I actually send a trap in my firewall, but I have no idea what it contains.
This is my attempt so far:
snmptrap.exe -v 2c -c xxxxxxx 192.168.100.65 '' 6 0 .1.3.6.1.4.1.5089.1.0.1 s "123456"
However, I can't seem to find any reasonable documentation with examples for snmptrap. Basically, I need to know what:
'' <- why do I need this? I can omit it and it will still send a trap
6 <- Enterprise gneric trap, I assume. Is this correct?
0 <- I have no idea, I need some sort of value for this
.1.3.6.1.4.1.5089.1.0.1 <- the enterprise specific OID I assume, should this be followed by some more numbers
s <- indicates string
"123456" <- just a random test-string...
This doesn't make much sense to me, and if anyone can shed some light on this I would be very grateful.
