RE: [nv-l] Illegal trap - They're Everywhere

["Davis, Donald" <donald.davis@firstcitizens.com>]

Here are my "unusual" traps.
I make every effort to avoid the unformatted trap message.
-------------------
1.2.840.10036.1.6 IEEE802dot11 (wireless lan)
6-1 Disassociate, 6-2 Deauthenticate, 6-3 Authenticate fail
------------------
1.3.6.1.3.71.2 RSVP
6-1 newFlow & 6-2 lostFlow
-------------------------
1.3.6.1.2.1.11 BMC Patrol
0-Coldstart & 6-1 warmstart
--------------------------
1.3.7.66.114.111.119.115.101.114  NetBT Tcpip
6-1073749839 - Browser
I'm not sure what this is, but I have it defined
-------------------------
I also have various traps defined for various 1.3.6.1.2.1.[10-41] protocols.
sna-sdlc, rmon, dot1Bridge, framerelay, ups, etc.

In my opinion, it cannot be right if the enterprise id does not define a

vendor (usually 1.3.6.1.4.1.xx . etc) , because the generic trap-type is

"6", which means "enterprise specific".  And MIB-II does not identify a
vendor.

How is trapd displaying this in trapd.log?
If the trap is not formatted, it should lay out all the contents and
tell
you the hostname which sent it.
What kind of an agent is it?

All,

Slightly off topic, sorry.

A network device is sending the following trap to our NetView box :
- EID = .1.3.6.1.2.1 ( mib2 )
- Generic  = 6  ( enterprise-specific )
- Specific = 2  ( unknown )

I couldn't find this trap in the RFCs. Has anyone seen it before ?
Also I suspect it is illegal. Do you agree ?

Regards,
Phil.
