Re: [nv-l] origin=212.252.18.0

[James Shanks <jshanks@us.ibm.com>]

Apparently you did not read carefully enough.  I gave you a workaround, which will suffice for all NetView traps, and many others besides.
In 7.1.3 and below all NetView traps should have an origin of $AGENT_ADDR, because NetView is the source or origin of that trap.  

 If you are having a problem with a NetView trap then the solution is to change the entry for that trap in the tecad_nv6k.cds file to use $AGENT_ADDR and not $SOURCE_ADDR.   There are plenty of other examples of NetView traps in that file for you to see exactly how to do it.    

Or you can just change the overall map defaults,

MAP_DEFAULT
  source = NV6K ;
  sub_source = NET ;
  origin = $SOURCE_ADDR ;
  adapter_host = $AGENT_ADDR ;
END
        
so that origin and adapter_host match.  Make them both say $AGENT_ADDR and most, if not all, cases of your problem will go away, for those that don't, you have to make your decision about whether to even send an origin or not.   

I do not understand why you cannot tell your customers just that.
