This not "tweeking" NetView. It's just basic event configuration. You
can't expect NetView or any other management platform to know all
traps of the world and how to handle them. Assigning severity,
automatic actions etc. is individual per organization. What's fine for
you won't work for others. As Leslie points out Cisco has done some of
the work for you adding trap definitions to NetView.

Ok, thanks. I just find it hard to believe that there's not a white paper or mor
e info about this. Netview is intended to monitor the network and the network do
es consist of routers, so one would assume that netview would be able to handle
traps from these routers, without to much tweeking.

MIB files are flat ascii files, and as long as you ftp them correctly
for your platform, there should be no problem loading them in Netview
for NT.
For traps, Cisco provides some help at:
http://www.cisco.com/public/mibs/contrib
There is a script traps.sh that issues the Netview addtrap command
for lots and lots of their traps. That would need some modification
to run on NT, but would not be too hard, I don't think.
There is also trapd.41x, which is a trapd.conf designed for HP V4.
You could look at that, and copy needed sections of it into your
trapd.conf file, as an alternative. Make a backup first. You will
need to add some Enterprises to go along with the traps. I think the
fields are the same, but you will want to verify that.
Best bet I think, is to alter the simple traps.sh to run as a bat file
or a perl script on NT.
Cordially,

We have cisco 7000,7513,2503 mostly. Cisco's site talks about mibs but they
appear to be used with HPOV or UNIX version Netview. Do you know of a
specific on that will work with the models I listed and NEtview for NT?

Regarding cisco, have you checked out http://www.cisco.com/public/mibs/ ?
Not knowing what type of equipment you have, it may be worth a look -
