Re: Sending traps using Perl

Fulko,

I understand your point that a LinkUp trap needs the additional  ifIndex 
varbind. I didn't understand why the example I had been given by Bart also 
contained a sysDescr var-bind. My point is that I wish to send an 
enterprise specific trap that contains no additional var-binds. How do I 
do this? The following line is unsuccessful:

:\Perl\bin\perl -e "use SNMP; $SNMP::verbose=1; $SNMP::debugging=2; 
$SNMP::dump_packet=1; my $session = new SNMP::TrapSession(Community => 
\"public\", Port => 162, Version => \"2c\"); $session->trap(oid => 
\"1.3.6.1.4.1.2257.11.1.1.0.0.9\" ); 

This line results in a trap being sent - Why do I need to put in some 
var-bind when I don't want to ???

:\Perl\bin\perl -e "use SNMP; $SNMP::verbose=1; $SNMP::debugging=2; 
$SNMP::dump_packet=1; my $session = new SNMP::TrapSession(Community => 
\"public\", Port => 162, Version => \"2c\"); $session->trap(oid => 
\"1.3.6.1.4.1.2257.11.1.1.0.0.9\", [[sysLocation,0,\"Here\"]]  ); 


My other point is that the call to SNMP::sys_uptime() is actually coming 
from the trap subroutine in the SNMP.pm perl module not from my own code. 
This does not seem to be obtaining the correct value of sysUpTime. e.g. 
After running my agent for only a minute, the snmptrapd output displays 
this as 391 days or so.

Regards,

Ali
