Try issuing "event -e FMTCHG".
 This issues a (trapd.conf format changed event which causes trapd
to reload the file.  See if that helps.

Yes to all James. It does exists.
Did I forget to restart something after I loaded the traps?

Well, you have to do some debugging. 
Use xnmtrap and look at trapd.conf. 
Do you have an Enterprise entry for or not? 
How about anything for 1.3.6.1.4.1.2552, the base number?
If so, do you show a specific trap 4 under it or not?

If not, then you script didn't work.  Does it add an enterprise with
that OID or not?

Ok got the mib, but I still have a problem. 
  
I followed the instructions on concatenating the necessary mibs called
for in the IMPORT stanza of my vendors mib as seen here:
  
-- File Name : NetegrityMIB.mib
-- Date      : Fri Sep 14 17:41:27 EDT 2001
-- Author    : AdventNet Agent Toolkit (Java Edition) - MibEditor
4.2 
  
NETEGRITY   DEFINITIONS ::= BEGIN
  IMPORTS
     TruthValue, DisplayString
        FROM SNMPv2-TC
     DisplayString
        FROM RFC1213-MIB
     enterprises, MODULE-IDENTITY, NOTIFICATION-TYPE, OBJECT-TYPE,
IpAddress, Gauge32, Counter32, TimeTicks
        FROM SNMPv2-SMI; 
  
So I performed the following function as described in " How to correct
the "trap found with no known format" error. " page.
  
# cat snmpv2-tc-v1.mib snmpv2-smi.mib rfc1213-mib-ii.mib NetegrityMIB.mib
> siteminder.mib 
  
then performed: 
  
#mib2trap siteminder.mib site.sh 
  
I ran the site.sh script with no trapadd errors (I had those yesterday).
  
Then we tested the incoming snmp traps and still received errors in the
trapd.log as follows: 
  
1095863321 3  Wed Sep 22 09:28:41 2004 crpu115a.wm.com

Did I miss a step?

The SNMPv2-SMI is available in both v1 and v2 flavors at the Cisco web
site.   
ftp://ftp.cisco.com/pub/mibs/ 
It's also known other places by it's RFC name , RFC1442. There's a simplified
V1 version of it in /usr/OV/snmp_mibs/rfc1442v.smi

Subject	[nv-l] Mib2trap

I am trying to integrate an app that uses SNMPv2 traps.

So far it looks like I am going to have a to take a LONG walk up the mib
tree to find all of the IMPORT dependencies to get this trap integrated.
Here is an except of the IMPORT definitions:

TruthValue, DisplayString
       FROM SNMPv2-TC
    DisplayString
       FROM RFC1213-MIB
    enterprises, MODULE-IDENTITY, NOTIFICATION-TYPE, OBJECT-TYPE,
IpAddress, Gauge32, Counter32, TimeTicks
       FROM SNMPv2-SMI;

I have the snmpv2-tc and rfc1213 mibs in hand. Since I do not have the
snmpv2-smi mib, I tried to Gogglize my way to this particular mib. I found
out there are tons of snmpv2-smi mibs that vary. In my 7.1.4 FP1
installation, this particular mib was not included.

What should be my next step?

JT

Hi John,
I'm not aware of any out-of-the-box integration for  Ack'ing in NetView
and getting automatic ACKs in TEC.  The simple (but I suspect WRONG
answer) is to forward NetView ACK TRAPs to TEC.  I think you will
find 
these are unconfigured by default in both trapd.conf and in TEC_ITS.rls.


The reason I suspect it is wrong (or at least, not quite right!) is that

this is what TEC sends to NetView in the Synchronization rules in 
netview.rls - you would then end up forwarding the ACK TRAP back to TEC
again........    Perhaps with an extra rule in TEC that filters
this ACK

TRAP out if it is a recent status change???  You'd then need a simple
TEC rule that changed the status of all recent events from the same node

/ interface, to ACK.

Just thinking off the top of my head....... anyone else?

Cheers,
Jane
