trap_rece(1M)                                          trap_rece(1M)


       NAME
             trap_rece - receive traps from a remote SNMP trap generating
             entity

       SYNOPSIS
             trap_rece

       DESCRIPTION
             The trap_rece command receives traps from remote Simple
             Network Management (SNMP) trap generating entities.

             trap_rece binds to the SNMP trap port (udp/162) to listen for
             the traps, and thus must be run as a privileged user.

             trap_rece 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.

       EXAMPLE
             When trap_rece gets a trap message, it prints the following
             information to standard output:

                         Community: public.
                         Enterprise: experimental.x.xx.xx.xx.xx.
                         Agent-addr: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx.
                         Authentication failure trap.
                         Time Ticks: 0.
