DESCRIPTION
       Use the trapsend command to send Trap-PDUs to network management

       containing the community string and a Trap-PDU specifying trap type
       to the NMS at UDP port number port running on host.

       Specify the host as either a hostname or an Internet address in dot-
       notation.

       Specify the community name as a text string to be used by the NMS to
       authenticate the request.

       Specify the trap type as either an integer value or as a text string.
       Legal values for type are: 1=coldStart, 2=warmStart, 3=linkDown,
       4=linkUp, 5=authenticationFailure, 6=egpNeighborLoss, and
       7=enterpriseSpecific.

       trap generated by trapsend.
