There is code in trapd now to handle V2 traps (they are not called traps in V2).
If you think that this is not working and that this is the reason for your
"invalid packet" message then you should open a problem to Tivoli Support and
gather some documentation. Specifically I would recommend that you set the -x
option on trapd (this is the "hex dump of all packets" option you see in the
config dialog) and then issue the " trapd -T" command from the command line
while trapd is running to toggle the trace on and off as required. The
trapd.trace file and the trapd.log file should provide information about what
exactly is the problem with these packets.

Benoit,
my understanding is that Netview V5.1 does not handle SNMP V2, at least to some
extend. I say "to some extend" because, if I remember correclty, you can import
SNMP V2 MIB files and use the MIB V2 browser to browse remote SNMP V2 devices.
Netview V5.1.2 will not understand SNMP V2 traps. Can't your SUN software be
configured to send SNMP V1 traps ?
Don't know if NetView will ever support SNMP V2... Everything is defined in the
SNMP V2 RFC, but I don't know why, the market seems quite shy regarding it and
few devices work with it.

Subject: snmpv2usec
Hi,
I have installed Sun Management Center 2.1 on my (SUN) servers and
configured it to send traps to my netview server (version 5.1.2 on AIX
4.2.1).
Sun Management Center use SNMPv2usec (with authentication and no encryption)
trap.
In the trapd.log, I have "T WARNING: invalid SNMPpacket from agent <ip>
source A pid -1".
How can I configure my netview server to understand the SNMPv2usec traps?
Thanks in advance
Benoit.
