    SNMPTRAPD (8)

    Receive and log snmp trap messages.

    SYNOPSIS

      snmptrapd [-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

        Print a usage summary and exit.

        Print the logged messages to stdout.

        Specifies the port to run on, if the default 162 is not desired.

        Log the messages to syslog(8). These syslog messages 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.

        Specifies the syslog facility to use, demon or local[0-7].

        makes snmptrapd ignore AuthenticationFailure traps

        Causes the application to dump input and output packets.

        Don't fork away from the caller when using syslog().

        Don't read the default set of configuration files.

        Force the reading of confFile as a configuration file.
