Along this same line, I am fighting another problem:  I run mib2trap against a 
particular MIB and get:
========================================================
/usr/OV/snmp_mibs # mib2trap CPQ_V2.0.1aTRP.mib output.file
         Errors - no script generated.

It looks like it trying to import some stuff from RFC1155-SMI, swmib-smiv1, and 
RFC1215.  Am I right?  If so, where can I get these RFCs in a 'loadable' 
format?  I know I have the swmib-smiv1 under a different name and can fix.  If 
I'm all wet, can someone point me to the right place?

Kevin - 

Please clarify your question again, and this time use a new subject more 
explict than the last one.  
I cannot tell just what you are asking, and the old subject doesn't seem 
appropriate. 

Are you asking how to configure a Cisco agent to send you a particular trap 
when a certain threshold is exceeded?   
Then clarify what Cisco agent (what box is it?) and what MIB variable from what 
MIB?  If this is what you want, then you have to be specific enough so that 
some Cisco-savvy person can assist you.  Put Cisco in your subject to catch his 
or her attention. 

If it is not Cisco, who do you have in mind to do the monitoring, MLM or 
snmpCollect on the NetView box itself?  Both are capable. 

Are you asking how to get snmpCollect to collect on a particular Cisco MIB 
variable and send you trap when it is exceeded?  He can do that himself and 
there is no need to involve MLM.  And the documentation is in the NetView Admin 
Guide under MIB Data Collection, but generally you would load the MIB first, if 
it is in SNMP V1 format.    Otherwise you would edit snmpCol.conf manually, 
using some other entry as a guide.  So  again, let's be more specific and talk 
about what MIB variable from what MIB.  Is it an SNMP V2 MIB?  Have you used 
snmpCollect before? 

Or are you asking how to set up MLM to collect on a MIB variable and send you a 
trap?  He also can do that, too, just as snmpCollect can.  Then you would use 
the MLM doc to find out how to configure the appropriate table using smconfig.  
Have you used smconfig before? 

So what are you trying to do?  If you ask the right question, I am sure someone 
can help.

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?

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..........
