I don't know anything about this Cisco bug fix and it is unlikely that
anything could be done with it soon. (How can anyone promise to do
something with a bug fix that isn't finished yet? Since Cisco's
development cycle and ours doesn't match, you wouldn't see the results
until after NetView 7.0 comes out late next year.) But as I reported here
before, if you have NetView Version 6.0.1 for UNIX, you can run
" nvaddtrapdconf /usr/OV/newconfig/OVSNMP-RUN/trapd.conf "
and this will merge the sample trapd.conf in newconfig with you current
one. Usually this is only done at migration time, which is why applying
6.0.1 doesn't do it automatically. But this will add about 110 Cisco and
Cisco-related trap definitions to your running trapd.conf (you might want
to make a backup copy first in case you don't like the results) which will
increase it in size about 20%. The ones that were chosen to be included
are all those that were in the old Cisco addtrap script and those which
were reported as being used at multiple customers sites by those folks who
responded to our survey here.
Unfortunately this was completed late in the 6.0.1 verification cycle
ad so did not get in the release notes for 6.0.1.

Subject: [NV-L] Cisco Mibs and traps to NetView and other NMS
Hello,
as I have seen several people have problem with Cisco Mibs and building
traps
from new
cisco mibs. As we have had this problem for several months it's good to
know
that there
are more with this same problem. As Cisco have withdrawn the support of the
script that
build the trapd.conf ( the one which is on the Cisco CCO web-site ) and the
problem arise
when you have new devices to compare a list for each of the devices against
each other
something better has to used. The question is what ? We opened a case at
Cisco
and
finally got them to open a bug ( SCCds19672 ) which will deliver a trap
definition file which would contain all
the Cisco defined traps, represented in a vendor neutral format.Cisco
estimate
that this bug will be fixed
by the first quarter of 2001.
I tried to get Cisco to contact Tivoli so that they could work together but
I
don't know if they have made
this contact....
Hope Cisco will deliver now...
Mike Gruner
