Loading the MIB will not help.   NetView is different from OpenView in this
regard and I cannot emphasize this often enough.

The "no format message" from trapd means that there is no definition for
this trap in trapd.conf.
To add a definition, you either manually configure it with Trap Settings,
using the detailed information in trapd.log or you use the addtrap command.
If you have a MIB which describes those traps, then you can use mib2trap on
the MIB file to create an addtrap script.
But merely loading the MIB will not help.

Okay I'm sorry the reason you are getting the "unknown format msg is you
do not have the correct mib loaded for the device that is sending the
trap.
Can you identify the model of the printer that is sending the
traps?www.mibdepot.com is a good resource for mibs
 I don't process anything from printers so I may not be any further help.
with configs-

Use >Options>Load/Unload SNMP Mibs  drop down from the Netview GUI to
add(load) new mibs,. ( Handy to know the location of the file  before hand
though)

But if you don't want to see that msg, use >Options> Event Configuration:
Trap customization and set it to not log and not display. Do not forward
etc etc.

Re: [nv-l] HP Printer Traps error







Micheal,
Thats great i would use that to compile a rule for it for TEC, but what
should i do with Netview events.... will that fix the problem in NV as
well? Do i need to edit the trapd.conf file??

Re: [nv-l] HP Printer Traps error









Run : /usr/OV/bin/mib2trap <MIB NAME>.mib <MIB NAME.trap <MIB NAME>.baroc

>From the dir you mib is in run mib2trap with output file being
hpstuff.trap and hpstuff.baroc being the baroc that will be loaded to TEC
if you are forwarding to TEC

mib2trap assists in event customization.

Usage:
   mib2trap <mib file> <output file> [<baroc file>] [<base class>]
       <mib file> is your input mib definition file,
       <output file> will contain a series of 'addtrap' commands,
       <baroc file> will contain baroc statements to be used with T/EC.
       <base class> indicates the base class for the optional baroc fil

Re: [nv-l] HP Printer Traps error







You need to run the addtrap command with suitable parameters.

The infomation comes either from running mib2trap on the HP MIB and
capturing the output
in a script file. You can ignore errors from the rest of the mib as long
as something appears in the script file.

Or manually from looking in trapd.log.
In particular you need the 'Enterprise' number and the 'Specific' trap
number.

I seem to remember running mib2trap on a Unix version of Netview,
and taking the script across to the windows version, renaming it as a
'.bat'

It should also be possible to do the same through the graphical interface.
