Well, I see what you want to do but there is not way to pull this information
from the trap.  The MIB descriptors are not passed in variables so you can't
access them.   Usually this infromation doesn't change and most vendors use a
different trap when it does.   If Cisco doesn't, then you'll have to do
something else.

Sorry but the current design doesn't give you that.

Subject:  Need advise writing SNMP Automated Action script




I need to add an Automatic Action shell-script to trapd.conf. The script
needs to retrieve (via snmpget) a specific entry in the object's locIfDescr
private MIB table.
My problem is that the only reference to the specific offset in the
locIfDescr table is mentioned by the "MIB leafs" of the trap, thus I don't
know how to pass it as a parameter to my script.

As an example, the following are the arguments passed by the trap. In this
specific example, I need to snmpget locIfDescr.49
How do I pass this 49 pointer to my script?
