Re: [nv-l] aixmib.my

Where did you get aixmib.my?  If
the rest us knew what the source was, perhaps someone else could try it.

The rest of your questions betray some
kind of misunderstanding about MIBs and traps.

First, there are three mibloaders and
browsers in NetView for Windows.  Only two of those will support SNMP
V2 MIBs, and usually, a MIB file name of ".my" is for SNMP V2.
 You can probably load such a MIB with loadmibv2 or the java loader
for the web client, mibloader.bat.  Once loaded you can browser it
with browserv2 or the java browser for the web client, mibbrowser,bat.

Second, loading MIBs has little to do
with traps.  In order for the contents of the MIB to be used to format
a trap, you must first run mib2trap on the MIB file, and then run the output
bat file it creates to add the trap to NetView.  This  does not
happen automatically.

Finally, the agent on your AIX box must
send his traps in SNMP V1 format. You can receive any SNMP V1 trap using
the NetView for Windows product, but NetView for Windows does not support
 SNMP V2 traps at all.  They will be discarded and never show
up in the Event Browser.  If you don't know which the agent will send,
you could direct it to send to NetView anyway.  If you see something
in the Event Browser from that agent, then you can use mib2trap to format
it, if you like.
