Thread-topic: [nv-l] Authorization Failure - format Error
Hi Anvaj,
 
One technique you might use to ID the culprit is do a debug on the firewall.
Your syntax would be something like this (assuming your SNMP config is setup for the "inside" interface)
debug packet inside dst NV_insideIP_ADDR proto udp dport 161 both 
 
Here are all the options
[no] debug packet <if_name> [src <s_ip> [netmask <m>]]
                [dst <d_ip> [netmask <m>]]
                [[proto icmp]|[proto tcp [sport <s_p>] [dport <d_p>]]
                |[proto udp [sport <s_p>] [dport d_p]] [rx|tx|both]
With this debug, you should be able to see the source IP address and the community string it's trying to use that's triggering the auth fail trap.
 
Good luck,

I am using Netview 7.1.4 FP03 on Win2K Server.  I am getting quite lot of authorization failure from one of my Cisco PIX 515E firewall.  But from the message I am not able to find out the IP address of the device which is trying to access. I have checked the snmp configuration on NetView for this device and found everything correct, and Polling the device with correct string.

 

Below is the message. How will I identify the source IP?

 

authenticationFailure trap received from enterprise cisco with 0 arguments:  authAddr=FMT ERROR: accessing element #1, only 0 available

 

 

 

Best regards,
