Tom,
Exactly as James said. tail your trapd.conf and send an evnriomnetal
alarm from the Cisco device. If you get the trap into trapd.conf in
whatever form, then the rest is trivial. If the trap never makes to the
trapd.conf file, then you have lots more troubleshooting to do between
Cisco Router and SNMP Agent running on the NetView box.
On a side note, you don't need the MIBs loaded in NetView if you just
want to receive the traps and run some automatic scripts. It won't be
pretty, but if it's automatic who cares? Let the machine worry about
those OIDs.

I don't quite understand what you are saying.
Trapd logs all traps unless you specifically edit the trap definition
(using xnmtrap) to say "Don't Log or Display". So if your trap is
being
sent to NetView, then it should be displayed in the trapd.log. Is it?
If you are saying that it is in the trapd.log, but doesn't make it to
the
event window, then use xnmtrap to see whether it is set to "Log Only".
That is the default for all traps added via the mib2trap - addtrap
process.
If you are saying that it is in the log, but it doesn't have the
formatting
you expect, then something went wrong with your addtrap definition and
you
should use xnmtrap to fix it.
No trap in the trapd.log and yet you do not have an entry in trapd.conf
which says "Ignore" (that's how the file shows traps configured as
"Don't
Log or Display")?
Then your trap is not getting to the NetView box.

Subject: RE: [NV-L] How do I page out Cisco environmental alerts?
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.
