The GUI isn't broken, just very confusing!!!
The field labeled "Variable type value" requires a multiple of 3 arguments.
It is the variable that you want to send with the trap. If none - leave it
blank.
example with one variable:
.1.3.6.1.4.1.9999.1 octetstringascii "We the people"
You can pass as many variables as you like in this "triplet" form

Jane,
Thanks for that, but I'm still trying to make the intellectual leap.
I've taken your advice and given up on the GUI version.
I'm now issuing the following command
snmptrap hostname .1.3.6.1.2.1.10.32 source_name 6 1 0
I then want to add three variable values, after the 0 for time ticks, how
could I do this, the values (for example) are 15 400 2.
Thanks
Peter Ingleson

Peter,
I have a feeling that the snmptrap command from the ServerSetup Diagnose
menu is broken (I believe it loses a parameter somewhere). I always use
the command line via a little harness shellscript that is
variable-driven. I have appended a sample - it's probably more complex
than you need but I hope you can get the sense out of it.
Cheers,
Jane
