Do you have multiple MLMs forwarding traps to NetView?
How about multiple NetViews forwarding to each other?
Ruleset or scripts triggered by those traps to send others with snmptrap?
How about the devices themselves? They have to be configured to send
traps. Could they have the same destination entry multiple times?
If you cannot figure it out, I would suggest an iptrace of port 162
formatted with ipreport. Those AIX utilities have man pages on how to use
them.

I think this has been asked before:
Why do we receive multiple UP/DOWN events from one trap..

The logs on the switch or the device do not show that it went down
multiple times. Usually we get 3 up/down traps (which we question as
well) but this particular time it we received 4 up/down traps.
The only application we run on this server is Netview. It's a big box
(H70 w/ 2 cpus).
A Quick reply. is appreciated. I have management breathing down my neck
for an explanation.
