Get-Trap Cmdlet

Parameters Output Objects Configuration Settings

The Get-Trap cmdlet provides a listening point for SNMP traps.

Syntax

Get-Trap [parameters]

Remarks

The Get-Trap cmdlet provides a listening point for SNMP traps and informs as specified by the SNMP RFCs. The cmdlet supports v1, v2c, and v3 traps.

The cmdlet provides both encoding/decoding and transport capabilities, making the task of receiving and monitoring SNMP traps as simple as setting a few key parameters and handling the output object. SNMP data, such as for instance SNMP object id-s (OID-s) are exchanged as text strings, thus further simplifying the task of handling them.

The cmdlet provides seamless translation of trap labels using MIB files from vendors as well as the standard ones that are included in the installation of the cmdlet.

The cmdlets support pipeline input for some of their parameters. Prebuilding an object and piping it to the cmdlet is very useful, but should be used with caution to prevent security conflicts. Steps have been taken to decrease the risk of a possibly accidental pipe to the cmdlet, for instance, the Credential parameter cannot be piped to the cmdlet and must be specified manually.
