I had the same problem that Ray had when adding trap definitions for Cisco
devices as well. I did not get any error when I ran mib2trap command.
Either mib2trap has a bug or the falgs for addtrap command were modified
and mib2trap is not compatible with the lates addtrap command.
I changed the order of addtrap in the output file generated by mib2trap
utility in the follwing order and I was successful. The order that worked
for me was:
addtrap -n enterprisename \
-l label \
-i enterprise-ID \
-g generic ID \
-s specific ID \
-o source ID \
-S severity \
-D Description \
-e class name \
-F format specification
Hope this helps.
