Bart, I'm definitely getting closer now. I can now send a linkUp trap from my software using SNMPv2. My code looks like this:
my $host = '10.50.80.197'; my $session= new SNMP::TrapSession(DestHost => $host, Community => "public", Port => 162, Version => '2c'); $session->trap(oid => "linkUp", [["ifIndex",1,1], ["sysLocation",0,"Here"]]); Why do you include the sysLocation.0 mib item when sending the LinkUp trap? As you can see I have omitted the uptime field in the call to the trap function. This results in the following output from snmptrapd: Received 106 byte packet from UDP: [10.50.80.197]:1366->[0.0.0.0]:0 0000: 30 68 02 01 01 04 06 70 75 62 6C 69 63 A7 5B 02 0h.....public§[. 0016: 02 1D 73 02 01 00 02 01 00 30 4F 30 11 06 08 2B ..s......0O0...+ 0032: 06 01 02 01 01 03 00 43 05 00 C9 BF 87 23 30 17 .......C..É¿╬ #0. 0048: 06 0A 2B 06 01 06 03 01 01 04 01 00 06 09 2B 06 ..+.......... +. 0064: 01 06 03 01 01 05 04 30 0F 06 0A 2B 06 01 02 01 .......0...+.... 0080: 02 02 01 01 01 02 01 01 30 10 06 08 2B 06 01 02 ........0...+... 0096: 01 01 06 00 04 04 48 65 72 65 ......Here 2011-09-28 17:01:24 LWPC211.uksecure.uk.mobile.marconi.com [UDP: [10.50.80.197]:1366->[0.0.0.0]:0]: DISMAN-EVENT-MIB::sysUpTimeInstance = Timeticks: (3384772387) 391 days, 18:08:43.87 SNMPv2-MIB::snmpTrapOID.0 = OID: IF-MIB::linkUp IF-MIB::ifIndex.1 = INTEGER: 1 SNMPv2-MIB::sysLocation.0 = STRING: Here The timeticks value does not seem to be a sensible value unfortunately as I have certainly not been running my agent for 391 days! I have changed my code to try and send my user defined trap as follows but without any success so far i.e. no trap is received by snmptrapd: my $host = '10.50.80.197'; my $session= new SNMP::TrapSession(DestHost => $host, Community => "public", Port => 162, Version => '2c'); $session->trap(oid => "ssaSwitchStopped"); The ssaSwitchStopped trap has no additional varbinds associated with it.
