It sounds lie there is a recurring error in the addtrap commands which 
make up the output of your mib2trap commands.
I doubt whether anyone can figure out what is wrong with seeing at least 
one of the addtrap commands -- why not post one here?


Whether trapd should be up or not when you run addtrap depends largely on 
how busy he is, and how many addtrap commands you are going to run.
But that NOTHING to do with the error you are getting.

Also, whether you loaded the MIBs before or after you ran mib2trap makes 
no difference.
mib2trap reads only the MIB files themselves.  He knows nothing about 
what's in the MIB database.

when i try to load the traps via the scripts , each scripts spits out a

my questions are.
1. what is this error
2. should trapd / netview daemons be up or down when running the scripts ?
3. does anyone already have a script to get adtran and atlas 800 traps 
into
netview ?
