You will have to do some research. The DEFAULT FORMAT should show you the
enterprise id, which will tell you the vendor, and the generic and specific trap
numbers, so you would go to that vendors' web site and see what MIBs they have
to offer. Also, you know what device is sending the trap, so you can contact
its owner and find aout about what software is installed.
Point your browser to
ftp://ftp.isi.edu/in-notes/iana/assignments/enterprise-numbers and you can get a
list of all the registered enterprise numbers to date. The enterpise number
occurs as the 7th number in the OID: 1.3.6.1.4.1.x IBM's is 2, Cisco is 9, and
so on.

Subject: [NV-L] trap descriptions
I am receiving events on my NetView console (Windows
NT / NetView 5.1.1)that show a description that does
not provide helpful information. For example, a trap
from a router shows "DEFAULT FMT: private
enterprises.,
etc." I'm guessing I don't have the appropriate mib
loaded or the trap is not added to trapd.conf
correctly, but I'm not sure. If this is the case, how
do I know what mib to load for a particular trap?
Thanks for your help.
John B.
