Hi to all
My question is related to the trap related implementation in NetView.Suppose
NetView console discover
one printer and show it under smartSet "Printers". If printer generate any
trap,will netview shows those event in the event browser without registering
those traps.
Second quesion is related to the number which is used in trap
registration,how can we come to know about the number of that particular
trap.
I really thankful to those who willtry to helps me out on this issue.

regards
sanjeev

James,

Yes, there is another 3rd party's trapd listenning to
udp port#162. nv trapd works after I shutdown the 3rd party
trapd.

NV installation script can be enhanced by checking service
entries of tcp/162, and udp/162 at /etc/services.
NV 5.1 installation doesn't check the existing udp/162 entry
but appends following lines:

nvtrapd-trap    162/tcp   # NetView trapd monitor trap port
nvtrapd-trap    162/udp   # NetView trapd monitor trap port

which generates double entries.

I think that a warning with reference to the doc on NV trapd coexisting
with other trap services is a better solution.


Regards,


   Weiya
