Re: [NV-L] FixPack 5

Thanks Leslie,
           
        Yes, this trap is for the server itself, Yes,
the OS default is SNMPv3 and I did have to switch it SNMPv1 in order to
netmon to start.  No the snmpd.conf community string and Global Default
is not public but they are the same.  I did stop the dpid2 agent like
you said but the trap continued. Im going to set my logging level in snmpd.conf
like you suggested to see what I can find.


Thanks, Dave

Is that trap from the box itself, or from something on the network? Hard
to tell, but if you increase the logging level in snmpd.conf you can at
least see what community string it is complaining about.

Between AIX 5.1 adn 5.3, the default SNMP on the OS changed from SNMPv1
to SNMPv3, but netview would not start at all if that were the problem.
So presumaby the upgrade recognized that you were running v1 and left it
that way. 

The most likely thing, I think, since you say that the community in /etc/snmpd.conf
is the same as the global default, but you DON't say that it is public,
is that your default is not public and the dpid2 agent is trying to start.
There thing that starts that up assumes a default of public. You can just
disable the startup of that agent and see if it goes away. 

>From my notes..... 
The hostmibd daemon is an snmp subagent (a smux agent) on AIX which supplies
the answers to SNMP queries of variables defined in the MIB II Hosts mib
section - system information about disk, memory, cpu, etc. This daemon
requires dpid2 to be up first, to handle communication between hostmibd
and snmpd. If dpid2 is not up, hostmibd keeps trying forever. The hostmibd
daemon uses an SNMP query to find out what port to talk to dpid2 on. It
uses the community string of 'public' to make this query unless a different
one is specified in its startup in /etc/rc.tcpip. 
End  notes...

Subject	[NV-L] FixPack 5

Hi All, 
       I recently upgraded from AIX 5.1 to 5300.5 and then
applied the FixPack5.  Netview seems to be up and running fine, but
I am now receiving: 

1173366569 4  Thu Mar 08 10:09:29 2007 NV-HOSTNAME      
       A IBM Incorrect Community Name (authenticationFailure
Trap).                  
                  

The community name in /etc/snmpd.conf is the same as the Global Default
and I am able to snmpwalk the server.   Any Idea's

Thanks, Dave_______________________________________________
