James,
Thanks for the answer. I have used the mib2trap utility. It works fine for
some of my mibs but this one particular mib it seems to have a problem with.
The mib is named fore-switch.mib and has a statement in there for IMPORTS
RFC1215.....Now when I use the mib2trap utility it creates the script file
but gives me messages about "Enterprise object id not found for trap
xxxxxx". When looking at the script file I notice a difference from the one
that works verses the one that doesn't which is -i option is being used. The
big deal is that this mib file has about 100 trap definitions so adding them
manually will take a long time. I have enclosed the script file generated by
the mib2trap and the event created by me purposely to see what the event
shows as. Can you look at this info and tell me an easy way to accomplish
getting these trap definitions defined. Thanks very much.

Trap definitions do not get added automatically in NetView. You can use
mib2trap against a MIB containing trap definitions and it will build an
addtrap
script you can use to add definitions of traps to trapd.conf. Or you can do
it
yourself with xnmtrap.
And you may want to use xnmtrap after you have added your definitions
because
the defaults provided by most vendors are minimal and often need
modification to
be truly valuable.
If you miss defining a trap, it is no big deal. You will get a message in
the
trapd.log and on the event window which says "NO FMT FOUND" for that trap,
and
it will list the enterprise id, the generic and specific ids, and all the
variables, so you can easily use that information to define that trap for
the
next time.
There is a whole section on defining traps in the NetView Admin Guide. That
should be available on-line if you installed the books.

Subject: Proprietary MIB Traps
I have several proprietary mibs from Fore Systems that I will be compiling
into Netview. My question is about the trap definitions in the mibs. Once I
compile the mibs will the traps defined in the mib be created within the
trapd.conf file automatically or will I have to do this manually? If I need
to do this manually what information will I need to specify in the
trapd.conf file. Thanks in advance.
