Brian, maybe I can read your mind from here. Either the node is in your
map,
or it is not. If it is in the map, it was discovered by an address other
than 10.73.7.242. It's Selection Name, if you look at it with
'Tools...Display Object Info' is some name, and that name resolves to some
other address on the device.
But the device is configured in such a way , or defaults in such a way,
that
the trap comes in bearing the address 10.73.7.242. Possibly you discovered
it
by loopback, which resolves, but the trap comes in by the nearest
interface,
which is a serial or something, and which does not resolve.
So when you use the Options...Highlight Node on Map function, Netview
tries to lookup an object whose Selection Name is 10.73.7.242. You
don't have one. So it says that the object is unknown.
The solution is to also resolve that address. If the device is in
/etc/hosts,
add this other address with the exact same name. Add it below the one that
is in there already. If it is being resolved by DNS, and your DNS will not
let
you put two addresses and the same name without round-robin, then put
them both in the /etc/hosts file (because /etc/hosts will be checked first
on your system). Be sure to use the fully qualified name, or whatever is in
the Object Info now, if it was discovered with a name from DNS.
Now when those traps come in from that address, they will be resolved, and
the events display will show the name in that middle column. And you will
be
able to navigate from the events display to the map.
Cordially,

Start up xnmtrap from a command line and go look at this trap. What's in
the source field? is it "?" or "A"? trapd knows that it's not from
NetView (netmon) but the Event Display may be relying on the proper
character being in the file.

James,
Thanks for the reply. You did clear things up for me but that leads me to
another question.....
In the Event Display application, when a trap comes in and I go into the
details of the event, it says Source: Source not known ?
I am thinking from you said earlier that it should understand that the
source is the Agent?!?
If that's the case, why would it say unknown?
Is there a way to correct this? (or is it not broken?)
thanks again..

You might want to have a look at the man page for trapd.conf and see if it
will answer some of your questions.
I don't understand what you mean when you say that it is not receiving the
"Source". The "Source" is a single character indicating origin. In this
case the trap must be configured as an Agent trap in trapd.conf, because
there is a big "A" in the log before each variable. If you mean the
originating node, that is given by the "10.73.7.242" IP address, so this
device must not be in DNS or /etc/hosts. If it were, then trapd would
resolve that to a hostname.
Nothing is stored in UNIX. Traps pass through and trapd formats them, logs
them, and passes them on to other processes. That's all there is to it.
If the trap has ten variables and you only format one, the others are not
displayed or logged anywhere.
Based on the excerpt, this trap is configured with the Log Message being
set to
$E $G $S $# $*
which means to display, in order, the enterprise (dl3800) generic id (6)
specific id (108) number of variables (4 args:) and then display each
variable in turn. Each number in a bracket [1] represents a variable, and
since there are four, it takes 5 lines to display the entire thing. Clearly
you are getting all that is being sent.
What are you expecting that you would ask "how can I determine whether or
not the DL3800 is actually
sending this information.?". Of course it is, where else would all this
come from?

Please respond to IBM NetView

Hey all...
We're running NV602 on AIX 433.... I have a question about Traps.
I have a Digital Link DL3800 set to send traps to netview and it all
appears to be working just fine, however, it's not receiving the 'Source'
my question is, how can I determine whether or not the DL3800 is actually
sending this information.? I have looked in the trapd.log file and I don't
see anything in there, but does that store the entire trap or only what it
knows about and can format?
Any advice to help me figure this out would be greatly appreciated...
here's the entries from the trapd.log file as well...
