Thread-topic: Authentication failures coming from Netview
Hi.  We are running Netview 7.1.4 on AIX 5.1 with these patches:

FixPack1, IY50663, IY51641, IY52429, IY54434, IY56958, IY60528

We have some routers that send authentication failure traps denoting Netview's 
IP address.

I ran a capture this morning and caught Netview using the correct community 
strings for this device in all cases, except one instance.  It tried to get 
sysUptime 3 times with the wrong string and then switched to the correct string.

The SNMP config is correct, and demandpolls and quicktests work correctly.

What would cause Netview to query periodically using the wrong strings?  

Thanks for any help!

Craig
