Re: [nv-l] A Authentication Failure Incorrect Community Name

[Larry Fagan <larrytechie@yahoo.com>]

James,
  Yes, traps are coming in with hostname and community string also.. i  have them coming in from bunch of servers.. so should i go to each box  and turn off SNMP trap destination? This was not the case before  migration.. these traps were not coming in before..
  any help is appreciated..
