You probably need to be root to send to a broadcast address.

This may or may not work. SNMP is not supposed to be used with broadcast

Sending snmp traps to a broadcast ip

[oscar sumano]

Hi,

I’m trying to send out snmp to a broadcast ip but i get the following error 
message. 

snmptrap: Failure in sendto (Permission denied)


snmptrap -v 2c -c public 192.168.2.255  "" IF-MIB::linkUp  
.iso.org.dod.internet.mgmt.mib-2.interfaces.ifTable.ifEntry.ifOperStatus.1 i 1


My environment is all Centos 6.4.


Any guidance on this would be great. 

Thanks,

-oscar--
