This is the standard AIX "authentication failure trap" You get this every
time some SNMP agent queries the box with an invalid community name.
To find out more info you need to proceed to fic_unix_12.fic.com and edit
/etc/snmpd.conf and turn on the trace (logging level=3). When it happens
again you can see who is doing it, and with what community string, in the
trace file.
I have never heard of an IBM Agent MIB. As far as I know, the snmpd agent
in AIX responds only to MIB-II.

Subject: [NV-L] Need MIB
Since changing the community strings on one of our AIX systems, I keep
getting the following trap. I know that 1.3.6.1.4.1.1.2.3 starts me down
the Agent area, but I can't find the MIB to figure out which agent is
yelling. Anyone:
A. Know what this trap might be?
B. Know where I can find the IBM-Agent.MIB?
TIA
