snmp_traprcv(8)
NAME
  snmp_traprcv - A program that listens for SNMP trap messages and prints any
  it receives

SYNOPSIS
  /usr/sbin/snmp_traprcv [-d] [-tcp] [-p port]

OPTIONS
  -d  Sends a hexadecimal dump of the received packet to stdout.

  -tcp
      Specifies that the TCP transport be used instead of the UDP transport.
      If a connection cannot be established, the program silently receives
      the trap on the standard transport address (UDP 162).

  -p port
      Specifies the port number on the local host on which to listen to
      messages. The default is 162, the well-known SNMP trap port.

DESCRIPTION
  The snmp_traprcv program listens on the SNMP Trap port specified in the
  /etc/services file.  If no entry exists in the /etc/services file, the
  program listens on port 162.	If any SNMP trap messages arrive,
  snmp_traprcv prints them to stdout.  The program runs until terminated by
  typing Ctrl/c.

RESTRICTIONS
  When using the default or well-known port, you must have root privileges in
  order to run this program.  The program may not be able to bind to the
  default or specified port if other software on the system is already bound
  to that port.
