This is a multipart message in MIME format.

First, loading the MIB does not add trap settings, period.  Never has in 
Netview .  You can only add trap settings from a MIB by running mib2trap 
on the MIB.  This creates, in NT, a .bat file, (a script in UNIX), which 
contains a series of addtrap commands built from the TRAP-TYPE or 
NOTIFICATION-TYPE statements in the MIB.  If the .bat file is empty, then 
there were no such statements in the MIB, which means that it does not 
define any traps.  If you are in doubt about that, then browse the MIB 
with Notepad or Wordpad an take a look.  If the .bat file is not empty, 
then you must execute that file to add the traps.  Adding the Enterprise 
Id manually is not necessary.  Addtrap will do that and add the specific 
traps as well.

Hello All,

I am having a  little issue, i loaded the required mib in to Netview 6.02 
on NT.  I am able to use the MIB Browser and walk through the tree 
succesfully.  When i go into the view the trap settings there is nothing 
visible under the Enterprise for this MIB, so i created a new entry for 
the Enterprise.  Still no traps are visible.  I attempted to use mib2trap 
with no success, any and all advice for be greatly appreciated. 
Thanks..........
