RE: snmp setup

[Kevin Smith <c-kevin.smith1@wcom.com>]

This is a multi-part message in MIME format.

If I may piggyback on this issue,
                                                 I am running Netview 6.01
on Aix 4.3 I too am interesting in generating a trap from a mib vairiable.
The mib is a cisco mib that monitor cpu activity on a router.  My wish is to
create a threshold using this mib and when the threshold is met generate a
trap to the MLM wich then will forward the events to my Netview servers.  My
experience is similar to the author of this note.  Is there documentation
that explains step by step how to load and then get trap-events for mibs
that arent defined to your platform?

Warm Regards

  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..........
