## snmp/send-trap 
**Type:** Command

The `send-trap` command sends one SNMP trap to the configured trap target immediately, which is useful for testing that traps reach the collector. The trap uses the `trap-target`, `trap-community`, and `trap-version` settings of the SNMP service (with `trap-version=1` it is a classic v1 enterprise trap; otherwise it carries the OID and value under the MikroTik trap OID `1.3.6.1.4.1.14988.1.1.9.0.1`). See the [SNMP guide](../../diagnostics-monitoring-and-troubleshooting/snmp) for the trap configuration.
