Let's try comparing your example with the one given in the 'snmptrap'
man page:
> $ snmptrap -v 1 -c public
> NotificationManager 1.3.6.1.2.1.11.1
> 6 1
> 1.3.6.1.2.1.11.1.1.4 s "text message here"
snmptrap -v 1 -c public
manager enterprises.spider test-hub
3 0 ''
interfaces.iftable.ifentry.ifindex.1 i 1
If you compare the second lines, you've only got two of the three
necessary parameters - missing the "agent" field. And similarly
if you compare the third lines - you're missing the "uptime" field.
That's why 'snmptrap' is completely confused.
> $ snmptrap -v 1 -c public
> NotificationManager 1.3.6.1.2.1.11.1 ''
> 6 1 ''
> 1.3.6.1.2.1.11.1.1.4 s "text message here"
That structure appears correct.
And if you look at the error message:
> 1.3.6.1.2.1.11.1.1.4: Bad variable type
> (Type of attribute is Counter32, not OCTET STRING)
the complaint is noticably more specific - it's recognised what
you're trying to send, and reporting that the value is wrong.
The OID 1.3.6.1.2.1.11.1.1.4 is SNMPv2-MIB::snmpInPkts.1.4
which is indeed a counter, so it doesn't make sense to send
a string value.
That's the closest - the other attempts are using the wrong
parameters again. Stick with that one, and adjust either the
OID or the value.
