Re: Re: NVADDTRAPDCONF - Brocade Switch

Ray -

mib2trap is expecting to work on a complete MIB definition file, not a
piece of one.  So it would have to start with something like
     BROCADE-MIB  DEFINITIONS  ::= BEGIN
then contain the IMPORTS section and other clauses and end with
     END
just to get started.   And there are a host of other formatting problems in
that snippet that would have to be corrected in order for this to parse.
And finally, since it is extracted from a MIB, some of the important
information that mib2trap would need to build his output is missing.  For
example, mib2trap would
require that this MIB file define the enterprise id starting from
".iso.org.dod.internet.private.enteprises (.1.3.6.1.4.1)", so it would have
to include a line like
     Brocade    OBJECT IDENTIFIER  ::= { enterprises 1588  }
and other such OBJECT IDENTIFIER constructs until it defined one called
"sw" which is what shows up in the ENTERPRISE field of the TRAP_TYPE macro.
There is just not enough information here for mib2trap to make sense of.

Did you notice in the comments it says "-- DO NOT compile this file."?
That's because it will fail any MIB compiler, including the one that
mib2trap uses.
They are apparently expecting you to manually configure you box using this
information, not load it.

Hello Leslie and James,

Thanks for your replies. I manually added the traps in xnmtrap with the
help
of the v2_0_1atrp.mib file I located on the Brocade site. mib2trap would
not
work - it fails on the "IMPORTS" line. Here's the v2_0_1atrp.mib file
contents in case you want to check the different traps.
