The length problem is not with the file being merged, it must be in
your trapd.conf already. The problem is a unix limitation in some
command (awk?) being used by the script. The same problem
occurs when you try to migrate a system that has long description
fields in the trapd.conf. There is a command on the installation CD
in the TOOLS directory (chktrapd)  for checking your trapd.conf. It will
tell you which lines are too long. Probably description fields for some
traps you have already added. Bay is especially wordy. You can edit
your existing trapd.conf and truncate the offending descriptions,
and then add them back later.

Cordially,

Hi to all,

AIX 4.3.3 Netview 6.0.2

I ran the commands as stated on Page 9 of the 6.0.2 Release notes

cd /usr/OV/conf/C
cp tapd.conf trapd.conf.orig
nvaddtrapdconf /usr/OV/newconfig/OVSNMP-RUN/trapd.conf

I got the following error when running the third command:

grep: 0652-226 Maximum line length of 2048 exceeded
Merged /usr/OV/newconfig/OVSNMP-RUN/trapd.conf into
/usr/OV/conf/C/trapd.conf

How do I increase the length? is there an easy way of finding out which
mibs where added or omitted?

Do you know if the wireless(aironet) cisco mibs are included in the file? I
need to add these mibs (wireless) but how do I do it if the length is
exceeded?

Catalina

Hi Jane,

I did
nvaddtrapdconf  /usr/OV/newconfig/OVSNMP-RUN/trapd.conf

but although the NV6.0.2 Release Notes  say that
this should add
"forty-seven new enterprises and one hundred and nine new traps,
added for Cisco and Novell devices"
in Event Configuration  I could not find a single trap
under 1.3.6.1.4.1.9 which is Cisco!

That means I still don't have any Cisco traps configured.
Is there any other way to add Cisco traps
to NV, say, for Cat6509?

I tried mib2trap <mib> ... which ended up in syntax
errors in the mibs.

The Release Notes for NetView 6.0.1 and 6.0.2 document how to import
LOTS of Cisco trap definitions.  Basically, they are all shipped in
/usr/OV/newconfig/OVSNMP_RUN/trapd.conf.  Back up your live trapd.conf
and then run the nvaddtrapdconf utility to merge your existing trap
customisation with the Cisco stuff.

Cheers, Jane
