mib2trap even on Windows will parse SNMP
V2 traps into addtrap statements. And you can load SNMP V2 MIBs with
either loadmibv2 (and browse with browserv2) or the java MIB loader from the
web client, mibloader.bat. If you are getting traps showing as DEFAULT
FMT then they are being sent ad SNMP V1 not SNMP V2 traps.
I took a quick look at the MIBs from your
link and they puzzle me greatly. The names call them V1, yet they
contain the MODULE IDENTITY statement, which is an SNMP V2 construct, so I
don't quite know what to make of them. But that may not be
important.
In any case, I would
try running addtrap on them and see what happens. Since there are two
MIBs, and one seems to be nothing but trap definitions, I would concatenate
the two MIB files, the trap definitions second, into one big file, and run
then mib2trap on that. If you cannot get that to work, I would call Support.
While I am forbidden to do anything more than give advice here, someone
in Level 2 will be happy to download your MIBs and help you get the traps
defined correctly. That's what they do.
Alternatively, yes, you could just read the trap
definitions MIB and manually add definitions to trapd.conf with Trap Settings.
That's always an option. Alternatively, when the DEFAULT FMT
message appears in the Event Browser, if you right click on that event and
select "Event Details" you can see all the variables which were sent with that
trap. One way or the other, you can manually define the trap. It
is not hard.

Below
is the link to the MIB files that I have downloaded for the Nortel Contivity
Extranet device. In a previous thread I was told that these are V2 MIBS
and they won't load in 7.1.2 on the Win2K platform. I also found another
suggestion to convert the MIB to a V1 MIB...but that was really an intricate
procedure. Is converting it the only option I have ? Otherwise,
I'd just need to manually define this particular trap, and other's that they
might send to Netview, right ?
Thanks for you
help James !!

trapd.log
DEFAULT FMT means
that the trap is NOT defined in trapd.conf, so it is getting the default FMT
wrapper.
Use Trap Settings to define it.
And
the ORIGIN slot on 7.1.2 is broken and will never fill in correctly.
You'll need to use another mapping.

NV
7.1.2 on Win2K
Has anybody seen the below in
their trapd.log ? I just wanted to know what the ? meant and why is
states DEFAULT FMT. We have the TEC adapter installed, and when the
event gets to TEC, it is really generic. Since the origin slot doesn't
get filled correctly (our's always get filled with 211.36.147.10 for some
reason, but that's another issue), I have no way of knowing from this event
which interface went down from this event. Any ideas ?
Thanks !
