Trap Testing

The OID snmpTrapTest (1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.46.2.1.10.4) will cause a trap to be sent to each registered host when set
to an integer value. For example, if an SNMP set is done on 1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.46.2.1.10.4.0 with a value of 15, each
registered host will receive the trap TrapTest (1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.46.2.2.0.100).

Trap Format
