 Name

    trap_rece - program that receives traps from a remote trap generating
    entity

 Syntax

    traprece

 Description

    traprece 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 mes-
    sages corresponding to the traps it has received.  The primary purpose of
    this program is to demonstrate how traps are parsed using the SNMP
    library.
