Subject: Authentication failure traps from Windows
whiles browsing caught your thread on nv-l
sounds like you have applied security filters to stop SNMP packets
coming from any host, but forgot to add your localhost (127.0.0.1) as
well as your console/poller as an acceptable host from which to receive
packets.
your local hp/compaq services will be communicating locally and failing
to auth correctly.
see the Security tab on your SNMP Service Properties dialog

Running 7.1.4 FP3 on Redhat AS2.1
I am being bombarded with auth failure traps
from some of my Windows 200x servers (not even a majority). Odd part
is I can do a demand poll and run a sniffer trace at the same time. I
see the poll run successfully (using the appropriate RO community
string) then the same server issue an auth failure trap back to Netview
(I have all my servers set to do this so I can detect rogue queries)
None of my traces reveal any other boxes trying to run queries (what I
had assumed in the beginning)
I think this has been happening for a long time
(all along?) but just became aware of a big problem because I
accidentally hidden from myself thru event configuration (setting to
"Don't display or Log") that I used a long time ago to debug something
but never reverted.
Any ideas? I have tried changing the comm
strings to something basic, put in a host specific snmp config, etc.
The devices are scattered across 5 different companies and dozens of
subnets.
In the mean time, I believe this flood of traps
is severely hampering Netviews ability to process other traps (because
there are so many coming in non-stop)
