Re: [nv-l] FIXED - HP Printer Traps error

[usman.taokeer@s-iii.com]

James,

Thank you very much, adding a space
solved the problem! Now i have all the traps listed in trapd.conf. There
is just one problem that all the traps are added as "LOG ONLY"
this will not show the event when the trap comes can i change that to "Error
Events" so that the appear in the Event console as well!

Regards,
Usman

Edit the MIB and insert a space between "::="
and "1".  Then try again.
The code parses on spaces, and it doesn't recognize "::=1" as
being the
same as "::= 1"

Hi James,

I tired that(mib2trap) but its giving me the following error:

C:\HP Printer MIBs>mib2trap trapmib.mib hptrap.bat
         Errors - no script generated.
Error defining TRAP-TYPE: Expected '::=', found (::=1): On or around line
44

here's what is on from line 40-44:

periphStatusChange TRAP-TYPE
                ENTERPRISE  
     net-printer
                DESCRIPTION
                    
   "The status of the peripheral has changed"
        ::=1

I can send the entire mib file containing all trap definitions for your
reference as well if you say so!

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.

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







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.
