Colin,
I'm a little confused by the trap generation harness script you have
supplied as it doesn't seem to have enough parameters.Both Node up/down
events and Interface up/down events should both have 8 varbinds.
The next question is whether your NetView can really "see" any of these
nodes / interfaces? I assume not? Is this just a TRAP system that
forwards events to TEC for correlation? Again, you will need all 8
varbinds on the TRAP as several of them (especially 7 and 8) are mapped
into attributes on the appropriate TEC classes. If you are not
forwarding to TEC but simply using NetView, how can you tell that an
interface belongs on a Node??
Check the NV 7.1.3 Release Notes for info on varbinds 7 and 8 (page 13).
Cheers,
Jane

BT have been sending us node up/down events for some while now, we import
these into Netview with no difficulty. We now want them to send us interface
up/down events. We thought that this would simply mean modifying their
script, which sends an SNMP trap, to use specific traps of 58916866/7
instead of 58916864/5. What actually happens is that NV sees parameters with
the node up/down events, but no parameters with interface up/down events.
Stripping the whole thing down we end up with the following shell script
fragment.
snmptrap nvserv101 \
.1.3.6.1.4.1.2.6.3.1 \
$AGENT_IP \
6 $SPECIFIC_TRAP \
0 \
.1.3.6.1.4.1.2.6.3.1.1.2.0 Integer 1 \
.1.3.6.1.4.1.2.6.3.1.1.3.0 Octetstring $AGENT \
.1.3.6.1.4.1.2.6.3.1.1.4.0 Octetstring $DESCRIPTION
Adding data and database parameters doesn't make any difference. Any clues
as to what we are doing wrong? We are running NV 7.1.3.
