OK, so you are
saying that you get the traps but they are garbled; the format is not what you
expected. That's what I was trying to clarify.
So that is good. It means (1) that the traps are
being sent by Brocade, (2) they are in SNMP V1 format so NetView for Windows
can receive them, and (3) they are being received, and formatted in some
fashion, even if not correctly, by what you have in trapd.conf.
So at this point you should be able to
edit the definition for these traps in trapd.conf with Trap Settings and
change it. Is that what you are having trouble with? Or
did you want to review the process by which you imported the trap definitions
into trapd.conf in the first place to figure out where it went wrong?

in
the mean time I realized that those traps are not correctly because in their
definition I have %d and not $d (for example) so they are only some kind of
models (?) as far as I understand....
referring to your question: I don' have "no fmt found" traps.
I'm sure lots of such traps are sent by brocade switches: my
events is somtehing like:
trapname: swFCPortScn severity :
Warning
source: Agent
category: Error
Enterprise: sw
Trap: 3
time:......
Node: 10.16.131.26 - and this is the switch
address
Description .... what I sent before
I'm not sure what you mean with "device or software log ...to
find out".
I don't think traps are sent in V2 format as far as I can see
them in my event console (even if uncorrecly formated) and I see them all in
trapd.log. BUT in my mib file these are notification-type (this is snmp V2
name for trap-type ?) and also I think I had some problem to import them with
mib2trap. in nv.log not traps are discarded!
I have ethereal installed to capture traffic especially on
port 162 but I don't see why to start capture at this moment as far as I'm
very sure these traps are from Brocade switch ...
thanks a lot James.. as allways your response are very
good!
Lucian
ps
I hope I made my self clear... :)
What you installed are just definitions for how trapd
should display those traps IF he gets them.
Do you see anything at all?
I mean are there unformatted traps which say "no fmt found" or
some garbled version of what you expect?
If not, there are two
possibilities.
(1) Brocade is not sending the traps. Is there some
device or software log you can look at to find out?
(2) The traps are sent
in SNMP V2 format. NetView for Windows does not display SNMP V2 traps.
It has no code to interpret them, so they will be discarded. How
can you tell if you are getting V2 traps? Well, you might see error
messages in \usr\ov\log\nv.log about traps being discarded.
Alternatively you can answer both questions in a short time by
downloading a free tool off the web. It's called the Ethereal packet
analyzer and it's available from http://www.ethereal.com. It
installs easily in about five minutes. Then you can set a capture filter
for "udp and port 162" and see what is being sent to the MS Trap Service.
The packets will be nicely formatted.

| [nv-l] SAN switch traps |
|
hi there list !
I want to send traps from a Brocade SAN switch
to a windows nv 713 and I receive allways messages like that:
- PORT
INDEX %d changed to %d Port Name: %s and SSN is #%s, GroupName %s, GroupType
%s, GroupMemPosition %d
I'm sure I imported correctly the traps from
the switch mib file so... what could be the reason? It really doesn't help
now.
thanks
Lucian
