NAME

trap_rece - program to receive traps from a remote trap generating entity

SYNOPSIS

trap_rece

DESCRIPTION

trap_rece is a program to receive traps from remote SNMP trap generating entities.  It binds to the SNMP trap port (udp/162) to listen for the traps and thus must be run as root.  It prints to standard output messages corresponding to the traps it has received.  The primary purpose of this program is to demonstrate how traps are parsed using the SNMP library.
