James, Glen,

It's not easy to pick in the email but line 7190 has no whitespace between the MIB data type identifier CMediaGwEntry and the ASN.1 assignment operator ::=

The NetView compiler does not seem to permit this.

Glen,
  as a work around you need to replace

CMediaGwEntry::= SEQUENCE {
by
CMediaGwEntry ::= SEQUENCE {

i.e. insert a blank before the ::=

I have tried running mib2trap on one of our NetView 7.1.4 systems on RedHat on this MIB after inserting a blank at each of a few occurrences of this pattern in this MIB and mib2trap then runs successfully.

Glen,

I wish this were a science, but it is an art, given where we are today.  My
apologies and best wishes for good luck.  But if gets too difficult, then
you'll have to call Support.  If they cannot resolve it, it will get
escalated.

I cannot tell you offhand what the problem is only that the parser has
reached an impasse and cannot resolve what he's looking at into the one the
internally defined data types he's expecting.  That's what "Bad Operator"
means.  But SEQUENCE is a recognized data type (assuming there's a closing
brace after what you have posted) so I don't think that's the exact
problem.

Compiling MIBs is like compiling source code and often the line the
compiler tells you the problem is at, is really the line where he first
noticed it or became too confused to continue.  I think that's what's
happened here.

I usually tell people to load the MIBs first, with xnmloadmib2, into the
default database or into one of their own,  because they have a better
chance that way of determining whether there's anything else they need to
resolve all the various pieces.

Regretfully, that's the only advice I can give you.

Hi James,

I apologize for my correctly execute your straightforward instructions.
I'm trying each of your suggestions, just so I can better understand the
ins and outs of Netview better.  I opened the mib in question and found
it's import section.  It wants several MIBs (see below) which I've
compiled into a single file using a text editor.

   IMPORTS
      MODULE-IDENTITY,
      OBJECT-TYPE,
      NOTIFICATION-TYPE,
      Counter32,
      Counter64,
      Gauge32,
      Integer32,
      Unsigned32
          FROM SNMPv2-SMI

      TEXTUAL-CONVENTION,
      DisplayString,
      TimeStamp,
      TimeInterval,
      TruthValue
          FROM SNMPv2-TC

      MODULE-COMPLIANCE,
      OBJECT-GROUP,
      NOTIFICATION-GROUP
          FROM SNMPv2-CONF

      cmgwIndex
          FROM CISCO-MEDIA-GATEWAY-MIB

      ciscoMgmt
          FROM CISCO-SMI;

Now, when I run mib2trap against the concatenated file - it fails with
this error "         Errors - no script generated.
Bad operator: On or around line 7190"

The first line below is line 7190
CMediaGwEntry::= SEQUENCE {
                   cmgwIndex              Integer32,
                   cmgwDomainName         SnmpAdminString,
                   cmgwPhysicalIndex      EntPhysicalIndexOrZero,
                   cmgwServiceState       CGwServiceState,
                   cmgwAdminState         CGwAdminState,
                   cmgwGraceTime          Integer32

Any ideas?

The warning means that this MIB is not self-consistent and you need
another
MIB from the IMPORTS section in order to find the enterprise OID which
is
used in the -i parameter of addtrap.  It will not run to successful
completion without it.  When you locate the other MIB, and it will be a
Cisco one, concatenate the two into one big file and run mib2trap on
that.

Running NV 7.1.4 FP3 on RH AS.21

Have had this problem before, cannot recall work around.

Trying to get traps defined for CISCO-IPSEC-FLOW-MONITOR-MIB.my

Run mib2trap against it and works well (except for this warning at the
beginning)
Warning: The mib description doesn't seem to be consistent.
 Some nodes couldn't be linked under the "iso" tree.
 These nodes are left:

And this at the bottom
Enterprise object id not found for trap cikeTunnelStart,
(6,1).Enterprise
object id not found for trap cikeTunnelStop, (6,2).Enterprise object id
not
found
 for trap cikeSysFailure, (6,3).Enterprise object id not found for trap
cikeCertCrlFailure, (6,4).Enterprise object id not found for trap
cikeProtocolFailu
re, (6,5).Enterprise object id not found for trap cikeNoSa,
(6,6).Enterprise object id not found for trap cipSecTunnelStart,
(6,7).Enterprise object id not
 found for trap cipSecTunnelStop, (6,8).Enterprise object id not found
for
trap cipSecSysFailure, (6,9).Enterprise object id not found for trap
cipSecSetUp
Failure, (6,10).Enterprise object id not found for trap
cipSecEarlyTunTerm,
(6,11).Enterprise object id not found for trap cipSecProtocolFailure,
(6,12).En

Now that I have a script to run, I do but it returns this over and over
again.

Usage: /usr/OV/bin/addtrap -n enterprise-name
          -l trap-label
          -i ent-object-id
          -g gen-trap
          -s spec-trap
          -o source-ID
          -S severity-flag
          -t status-type
          -c category
          -F format-specification
         [-C command]
         [-d display] ]
         [-D description] ]
         [-N node list] ]
         [-e TEC Class Name] ]
         [-E TEC Slot Name] ]
         [-V TEC Slot Value] ]
         [-T do not send FMTCHG event to trapd ]
 If arguments contain space, use the double quotation mark.

Here is a sample from the beginning of the script.

/usr/OV/bin/addtrap -l cikeTunnelStart -g 6 -s 1 \
   -n cipSecMIBNotifications  \
   -o A  -c "LOGONLY" -t 0 \
   -S 1  \
   -T \
   -D "This notification is generated when an IPsec Phase-1
IKE Tunnel becomes active."  \
   -e cikeTunnelStart  \
   -F '$E $G $S $# args: $*'

I've also tried running the first step manually and it fails too.  Am
tinkering to see where but here is the command I've used.

/usr/OV/bin/addtrap -l cikeTunnelStart -g 6 -s 1 -n
cipSecMIBNotifications
-o A  -c "LOGONLY" -t 0 -S 1 -T -D "This notification is generated when
an
IPsec Phase-1 IKE Tunnel becomes active." -e cikeTunnelStart -F '$E $G
$S
$# args: $*'
