Do you have two separate trap settings or just one?  If you have just one, with
both traps selected, then it should trigger only once.  If you have two, then it
will trigger twice because the match for "3119.1.1" is a match for anything
which follows the last "1", so "3119.1.100" actually matches both.

  I just posted an append earlier this week in which I told Ken Freeman that
there was an internal defect open on the fact that the match in a Trap Settings
node was too broad and that the fix would be included in the next round of
maintenance.  Until then you will have to live with this or code around it.

Hi all,

We use snmp traps extensively with inhouse applications , using our own
private enterprise ID (3119)
Today I saw something funny:

In a Netview ruleset, we have an action node after the following trap id's:
3119.1.1 6 4
3119.1.100 6 4.

However, if I send snmp trap id 3119.1.100 6 4, the ruleset triggers the
action node twice, both on "1" and "100".
You see ?

Am I missing some basic mib/snmp knowledge here ?


Mvh/Regards,
