You need to do some problem determination and figure out why you aren't
getting these traps.
How about an iptrace on the NetView box to see whether they are arriving?
What port are they being sent to (162/upd?).
Does your /etc/services have nvtrapd-trap assigned to 162/udp?
What about having other software installed, like Optivity, which might have
changed the trap reception port?
I can assure you that out of the box, NetView V5.1 will receive traps from
other sources than netmon, so the problem is local to you.

Subject: NetView 5.1 doesn't receive SNMP traps?
Hi,
NetView console can't receive SNMP traps from other
sources. (I tested it by sending traps using HP OV snmptrap and
our SNMP trap utilities).
NetView's trapd runs well:
object manager name: trapd
behavior: OVs_WELL_BEHAVED
state: RUNNING
PID: 33260
last message: Initialization complete.
exit status: -
And the only events the console gets is from netmon. Do I
need to configure trapd, or get a patch for NV 5.1?
Thanks.
Weiya
