Advanced Notification Originator#

Multiple concurrent notifications#

Send multiple SNMP notifications at once using the following options:

  • SNMPv2c

  • with community name ‘public’

  • over IPv4/UDP

  • send INFORM notification

  • to multiple Managers

  • with TRAP ID ‘coldStart’ specified as a MIB symbol

Functionally similar to:

$ snmptrap -v2c -c public demo.pysnmp.com 12345 1.3.6.1.6.3.1.1.5.2
$ snmpinform -v2c -c public demo.pysnmp.com 12345 1.3.6.1.6.3.1.1.5.2
