RE: [NV-L] Flitering Traps on NetView 7.1.4

Hi

MLM means Mid-Level-Manager
It is a kind of netview sub-agent, which
has filtering/collection/trap capabilities. It is distributed for free
use with Netview

you can find more here: http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/tivihelp/v3r1/index.jsp?toc=/com.ibm.itnetview.doc/toc.xml

I have used that feature intensively
on AIX, but unfortunately never managed to get it working properly on windows....

Hi, 
Best practice for SNMP traps is to control them as close to their source
as possible. 
So the options are: 
- Unconfigure the SNMP stack of your devices so that they do not send any
traps 
- if you want some of the traps but not all of them to get through, either
you can configure that on the device itself (pretty rare but sometimes
possible) or you install an MLM somewhere on your network, and you reconfigure
your devices to send their traps to this MLM, where you will have filters
for the unwanted events. MLM is strong and can handle large amounts of
events without taking much resource on the system.

Hope that helps

Hi List, 
  
NV 7.1.4 FP04 
Windows 2003 Std SP1 
ITSA 1.3 
  
Is there a way to filter/limit traps coming in on the netview server before
they are processed by 'trapd', one of our customer is facing some serious
performance issues coz a lot of unnecessary traps are coming in from different
network devices accross the network. 
  
  
  
  
Regards,
