Whatever that device is which is sending you these traps, it is broken.  No MIB will help.
Notice the "NO FMT IN TRAPD.CONF: .0.0 (0.0) generic:2"  message?
That indicates that the enterprise OID is 0.0 which is simply an error.  Enterprise id's cannot be zero.
You need to contact the vendor, Cisco, if that's who it is, and get a fix for this.  Failing that I'd turn off the traps because you won't be able to define them in trapd.conf.  

If you want to obtain a hex representation of what is actually  being sent, so you can send that to the vendor, then you can do that with a trapd.trace.
First, use server setup to configure trapd to dump all packets to hex (the -x option).  Then when he's up and running you can toggle the trace off and on again with "trapd -T" issued from the command line.  The trapd.trace file will then contain a hex dump of every incoming trap, and you can match these bad boys up with time stamps in the trapd.log

[nv-l] rfc1213-mib2 traps?





Hi all,
 
I'm looking for a mib that I can get some trap definitons from in hopes that I won't have to create a new enterprise and definitions.  I'm receiving the following traps from Cisco Aironet 350 bridges but there are no trap definitions in rfc1213-mib-II where these oid's are defined.  Not only are these traps annoying, but they are not very informative.  Should I just tell all these devices to not send any more traps?
