NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

       snmp_traprcv  -  A program that listens for SNMP trap messages
 and prints any it receives

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

       /usr/sbin/snmp_traprcv [-d] [-tcp] [-p port]

OPTIONS    [Toc]    [Back]

       Sends a hexadecimal dump of the received packet to stdout.
       Specifies  that  the  TCP transport be used instead of the
       UDP transport.  If a connection cannot be established, the
       program  silently receives the trap on the standard transport
 address (UDP 162).  Specifies the port number on  the
       local  host on which to listen to messages. The default is
       162, the well-known SNMP trap port.

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

       The snmp_traprcv program listens on  the  SNMP  Trap  port
       specified  in  the /etc/services file.  If no entry exists
       in the /etc/services file, the  program  listens  on  port
       162.   If  any  SNMP  trap  messages  arrive, snmp_traprcv
       prints them to stdout.  The program runs until  terminated
       by typing Ctrl/c.

RESTRICTIONS    [Toc]    [Back]

       When  using  the default or well-known port, you must have
       root privileges in order to run this program.  The program
       may  not  be able to bind to the default or specified port
       if other software on the system is already bound  to  that
       port.
