RE: [NV-L] Trapd Events 1.3.6.1.6.3.1.1.5

[Denis Peuziat <dpeuziat@amadeus.com>]

Hi,

This is SNMP V2 Authentication Failure
event, meaning that the device sending them is being polled by some snmp
manager with a wrong community. This is the source of your problem.
Getting rid of the traps by defining
them as "don't log or display" within Netview won't do any good
as the load for trapd will still be the same, even though your event console
will look cleaner.

To get the correct event definition
added to Netview, you might want to use mib2trap command: mib2trap snmpv2-mib-v1
snmpv2-mib-v1.sh (cd /usr/OV/snmp_mibs first)
This will create an executable file
which contains addtrap commands (command to add the events format to trapd.conf).
You might want to have a look at snmpv2-mib-v1.sh content to see if it
fits your need before executing it....

If you're using Netview on AIX, I would
also recommend using MLMs, that's how I use to get rid of all the garbage
traps by setting filters. It prevents too many unwanted events to come
into Netview.

You can also modify the conf of your
SAN switch so that they don't send Authentication Failures or to check
(and modify?) the SNMP community names (command is snmpConfig if I remember
well...)

Hope it helps

Hi,
 
Thanks for you reply...
 
The traps are coming from our
IBM SAN environment are I believe are important but need to make some sense
of what it is really as I cannot get rid of the NO FMT bit...thanks.

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.

Hi,
 
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.
 
 
All help appreciated.
 
 
Many thanks.
