Aside from formatting the trap, you will want to figure out
what is causing it. Here's a re-run of an answer that might
address that question.
---------------------------------------------------------------

Hi Leslie,

I've had this problem before when migrating from rsrb to dlsw.  The source
of
the problem was a leftover source-bridge remote-peer statement in the cisco
config (with no matching peer statement on the remote router).

If you query the mib2 tcpConnTable for the routers in question, you should
see
the ip addresses that are the source of the trouble.  (You may need to
issue
the query several times to see which connections keep opening and closing.)

Hope that helps...

I am getting a large number of traps from cisco routers that are not
defined
in trapd.conf.  I have loaded a large number of the cisco snmpv1 mibs from
their website.  Do the mibs contain the trap information as well ?  Where
can I get the information to load into trapd.conf.  I am getting a variety
of traps, not just one trap over and over.  Here is one of the traps I get
repeatedly:

Specific:1
Generic: 6
Category: Status Events
Enterprise: 1.3.6.1.4.1.9
Source: Source Not Known
Hostname: ciscorouter
