Description Use this command to generate specific Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) traps, to
test the trap recipient, and to validate Management Information Base (MIB) objects and associated
traps that are supported in Fabric OS.
Use the --send option to send a specific SNMP trap to a recipient indicated by its IP address. Or
use the --send option without operands to send all supported traps to all configured SNMP trap
recipients. When the command is issued to send all traps, the message returned indicates only the
total number of traps sent and not the individual trap names. Use snmpTraps --show or
snmpConfig --show mibcapability to verify which traps were disabled and not sent. The recipients
must be configured for this command to succeed.
Refer to the snmpConfig command for more information.
Use the --show option to display all MIB objects and associated traps that are supported in Fabric
OS.
