SNMP: Sending Enterprise-Specific Traps

To send an enterprise-specific trap using SNMPAgent or SNMPTCPAgent, you must first set the TrapEnterprise configuration setting. By default, it has the value 1.3.6.1.6.3.1.1.5 (i.e., SNMPv2-MIB::snmpTraps). After setting TrapEnterprise, set the trapOID parameter of the SendTrap method based on the kind of trap you want to send.

Sending a Generic SNMP Trap

To send a generic SNMP trap, set trapOID to one of the trap name strings or the full trap OID from the table below.

C# Example

agent.Config("TrapEnterprise=1.3.6.1.4.1.42");
agent.SendTrap("RemoteHost", "coldStart");

Sending an Enterprise-specific Trap

To send an enterprise-specific trap, set trapOID to a string in the format "6.x", where x is your enterprise-specific trap type (6 is the generic type indicating an enterprise-specific trap).

C# Example (Enterprise Trap Type 5000)

agent.Config("TrapEnterprise=1.3.6.1.4.1.42");
agent.SendTrap("RemoteHost", "6.5000");

This will send an enterprise-specific SNMP trap of type 5000 to the specified remote host.
