I don't think it is true to say that trap definitions get loaded when the MIBs
are loaded - at least, they never have on my system.
I have always had to define the traps myself using one of three methods:
1) Through the GUI;
2) Using the addtrap command with all the associated parameters;
3) Using the nvaddtrapdconf command to merge a file that is in the same format
as the trapd.conf file;
I also had to define the Seagate Backup Exec traps and I used the GUI method
and referred to the .tdf file for details such as Specific Id and formatting
text.
