send-trap

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 for the trap configuration.
