Snmptrap command help

Dear all,

I have configured the "snmpd.conf" to be able to send traps to a network manager. The file is saved in "/etc/net-snmp/snmp/".

Attached is my configuration, which seems to be correct. (The IP address 10.192.4.4 is the trap receiver).

Next my aim was to send a test trap to verify that the sparc machine can actually send traps for any anomalies. It seems I can use the command "snmptrap" for this however I cannot understand it's syntax.
the first few syntax are fine such as:

Code:
snmptrap -v2c -c mycommunity 10.192.4.4 ........

but I cannot understand what I need to put for the test.

Can you help with some examples?

Much appreciated!
