Re: How can I define my own trap?

*Definition:*
Time OBJECT-TYPE
    SYNTAX STRING
    MAX-ACCESS accessible-for-notify
    STATUS current
    DESCRIPTION
    "Explanation"
    ::= { arrel 7 }

*Command: *(omitting all the other attributes of the trap)
snmptrap -v 2c -c public 127.0.0.1 "" TESTING-TRAP-NOTIFICATION::trapTEST
Time s "19:55:67"

I'm invoking this command from a perl script using the "system" function.

For now, in order to make it work, I've deleted all the ":", thus obtaining
the time as an integer (hhmmss instead of hh:mm:ss). I then redefined the
MIB object definition from STRING to INTEGER.
