[NetView for NT]
I just configured a device on the network to forward traps to NetView. Boy
did it forward.
It started sending traps every 4 to 5 seconds. The details showed no
duplicates. Each trap
was unique. Is it the vendor's SNMP agent for the device that will have
control of these traps?
I do not have the MIBs for it. I did see vendor documentation of MIBs for
Unix. Will I
need to convert Unix MIBs to NT MIBs? What will I use to make the
conversion?
When I tried to demand poll the device (during the rapid-fire traps) I got
this message:
Unable to establish connection to netmon daemon on server.
The netmon daemon must be running on the server.
Also, check \usr\ov\log\nv.log on server for possible errors.
Local error: Waiting for a process to open the other end of the pipe.
Of course, netmon daemon was running on the server. It never stopped. When
I checked nv.log, I had this message:
08/09/99 07:21:47 [nmdemandpoll] Unable to establish connection to netmon
daemon on server. The netmon daemon must be running on the server. Also,
check \usr\ov\log\nv.log on server for possible errors. Local error: Waiting
for a process to open the other end of the pipe.
The log entry was the same as the Demand Poll message. I changed the device
back to not forwarding traps and reset it. All is back to normal.
Is this expected of netmon daemon when trapd is overloaded? Or should I
back off netmon's polling timers?
Thanks,
Larry
