If you run mib2trap against a MIB and the addtrap script it builds does not
have an OID in it, it is because the MIB file which contained the trap
didn't either. At this point you have two choices. You can get the MIB
file which is the logical precursor to the one you have, the one which
supplies the OID and merge it with the MIB file which contains the trap
defs and run mib2trap on that, or you can just edit the addtrap script and
add the correct OID to it. Just add it to the addtrap script as "-i
<OID>". If you look at the man page for addtrap, you should see what I
mean.
You could also add the OID to the MIB file itself if you are familiar with
ASN1 syntax, but most people like one or the other of the first two options
better.

Subject: Adding Bay router traps to Netview 5
Has anyone ever been able to the Bay networks wellfleet router traps ver 11
or 12 to Netview 5? I've been attempting to do this for the last 3 weeks
and have not been successful. I opened up a ticket with Bay on this, and
the support guy told me that Bay networks has never been able to add the
wellfleet traps into Netview in the past. Not sure that I believe that....
I've tried taking the current MIB files provided with sitemanager and ran
mib2trap on them. It actually does create an addtrap script file, but
does
not have an OID associated with the trap. Looking at the MIB files, this
is
because there's no OID indicated in the MIB file. But the MIB file seems
to
load fine.
Any direction or help would be much appreicated.
Thanks.
