Kevin,
We agree that the better way is to use a trap to Netview, rather
than an SNMP poll of the device. We already had the CISCO-ENVMON-MIB loaded
in Netview.
Our problem is with "addtrap". We used the "mib2trap" command to
create an addtrap script. We got some error messages that we detremined
were caused by a missing "-i" value. We thought we figured out what that
value should be and editted the value into the addtrap script which then
seemed to run to add the trap. But we can not get the trap to forward a
message to the Netview event log even though we tailored the trap to do so.
All help is appreciated. Thanks, Tom G.

Tom,
You can either load the CISCO-ENVMON-MIB and collect temperature data using
NetView, or configure the Cisco device to send you environmental alarms in
the form of SNMP Traps to NetView. Data collection using NetView puts
unnecesary load on the network, so configuring Cisco Device to send trap is
much cleaner and efficient, unless you wanted to trend the temperature data.
To configure your cisco device, use the command:
snmp-server enable traps envmon temperature
Enjoy.

We have NetView 5.1.3 on AIX 4.3.2.
I need to receive environmental alerts from Cisco 7206 devices in our core
network. We get power on reset alerts "after the fact" on other Cisco
devices in our WAN but we would like to be "fore warned" on over heat
problems and the like within the core. We have the SNMP configured in the
routers. What else do I have to do? Where can I read up on how to do this?
Thanks in advance. You've been a big help in the past, Tom G.
