Someone please
correct me if I am wrong ( I am also new to
Netview)
Your best bet is to
remove them at the source. You only want traps coming into Netview that you
wish to act upon.
Do you know what
product/device is sending them?
Setting up a trap for
them is only going to change the formatting of the information; you will still
process them through trapd and still have the associated
overhead.

First question about netivew....I
am new to Netview so people I apologise in advance for any stupid
questions.
I have a situation where I'm
receiving loads of traps in trapd.log and most of them are similar to the
following:
? NO FMT IN TRAPD.CONF: Enterprise
(1.3.6.1.6.3.1.1.5) generic:4 specific:0
args(0):
Now this is what I have done to
try and get rid of this problem
I have started xnmtrap and
added a new Enterprise Name called Enterprise
and an Enterprise
ID as 1.3.6.1.6.3.1.1.5 and then
added an Event Name as Authentication_Error and under generic trap I left that
as Enterprise Specific with the specific trap as 0. I reloaded the
trapd.conf file with event -e FMTCHG command and was hoping that
this will get rid of the NO FMT bit but I'm still getting then and this
whole saga has left in confusion hence my plea for help to you guys who
have worked with this product for a while
now.
Also is there a way to acknowledge
these trap events so that they stop coming into the trapd.log file once you
start to action on it or you are aware of the issue ....this is to stop the
log file going into some kind of trap storm which inadvertently affects demand
poll and quicktest.
