Advanced Notification Originator

Multiple concurrent notifications

Send multiple SNMP notifications at once using the following options:

  • SNMPv2c and SNMPv3

  • with community name ‘public’

  • over IPv4/UDP

  • send TRAP notification

  • to multiple Managers

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

  • include managed object information specified as var-bind objects pair

Functionally similar to:

$ snmptrap -v1 -c public demo.pysnmp.com 1.3.6.1.4.1.20408.4.1.1.2 demo.pysnmp.com 6 432 12345 1.3.6.1.2.1.1.1.0 s “my system”
$ snmptrap -v2c -c public demo.pysnmp.com 123 1.3.6.1.6.3.1.1.5.1

Multiple concurrent notifications

Send multiple SNMP notifications at once using the following options:

  • SNMPv2c and SNMPv3

  • with community name ‘public’

  • over IPv4/UDP

  • send INFORM notification

  • to multiple Managers

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

  • include managed object information specified as var-bind objects pair

Functionally similar to:

$ snmpinform -v2c -c public demo.pysnmp.com 123 1.3.6.1.6.3.1.1.5.1
$ snmpinform -v3 -u usr-md5-des -l authPriv -A authkey1 -X privkey1 demo.pysnmp.com 123 1.3.6.1.6.3.1.1.5.1
