Scott -
You are confused about something but I am not sure exactly what. If the
trap is coming in and you see one of those unknown format messages in the
trapd.log then it is not defined in trapd.conf, no matter what you did with
MIBs and mib2trap. Some part of the trap is therefore different from what
was extracted from the MIB by mib2trap or the addtrap script was not run.
Remember that when you do run mib2trap, what it creates is an addtrap
script you must run to actually update trapd.conf. Could you have missed
that step? In any case, my advice is to use the entry in trapd.log as a
guide and run xnmtrap to manually add the correct trap or to modify the
entry that is already there. All the information such as enterprise id,
specific trap number and variable content will be in the log.
And you are correct about "Browse MIB" from the events panel. it does not
work if you have an SNMPV2 MIB you loaded. It only shows you what is in
the V1 database.

Subject: [NV-L] Unknown Trap
Hello all,
I have a trap I'm receiving from a device that has been showing up as
unknown. After talking to the owner of the equipment, who assured me that
the software revision was at the current level, I was able to obtain the
MIB
from the vendor. The MIB was in version 2 format, so I loaded it up and
added the definitions to the trapd.conf file using the LOAD/UNLOAD MIB and
the mib2trap process.
The problem is that the traps are still coming in as unknown. What is
weird
about the situation is I issued the trap myself with the snmptrap command
and when the trap came in as unknown, I selected browse MIB and it is
attempting to go to the SNMP MIB file location not the SNMPV1/SNMPV2
location, where I loaded the MIB. I can't load the MIB under SNMP because
the format is in V2. So has anyone encountered this before?
Thanks in advance for the help.
