Re: Réf. : Re: [NV-L] Trap OSPF

[Leslie Clark <lclark@us.ibm.com>]

Here's a link to an archived response
from an expert on that particular subject.  
http://lists.skills-1st.co.uk/mharc/html/nv-l/1999-04/msg00044.html

That is the best description of the
process. In adapting it for Windows, you will need to wrestle with invoking
scripts from the trap configuration. They syntax for invoking them sometimes
gives people trouble. That has come up many times, so there will be tips
in the archives of this list if you can't get it to run.
The archive is at http://lists.skills-1st.co.uk/mharc/html/nv-l/

You will need to configure the trap
definition to invoke a script or batch command, and that script will send
a new trap. That trap will update the status of the symbol on the map but
not the status of the object in the database. So the next time the map
and the object synch up, eg at map open time, or ack/unack time, the status
of the symbol will be reset to that of the object. 

This link is to the wiki and describes
another approach to the issue of identifying things that have sent traps
based on smartset membership.

I have change the definition of the trap to make it a Status Event, and
then set the status to critical.  But the node is still green on the
map. 
The help topic says that i should use the netview specific trap snmp_ev
but i don t know how to use it.

By design, the node and interface status reflected in the map is IP status,
unmodified by any traps received. You can alter that if you wish, but be
aware that a change in IP status will override your status.

 I'm not positive of the menu selections on the windows platform any more,
but you can change the definition of the trap to make it a Status Event,
and then set the status. Really, the design of the product is that you
should create some object of your own, and change its status, but it works
well enough, I think, just changing the status of the node that sent the
trap. I suggest setting it to Marginal. You will need to know the Enterprise
number and the Generic and Specific trap ids for the exact trap you want
to modify. If there is a clearing event, (like a down and an up), you can
set the status back to Normal. 

For an operator to clear the status that was set by an incoming trap, you
only need to Acknowledge/Unacknowledge the node. That will restore the
status to the IP status.

Subject	[NV-L] Trap OSPF

Hi 

I am working with netview 7.1.4 on a W2K station. 

I'would like to know how to change the status of a router when i recive
an OSPF trap when my router lose a neigbors. 

I am able to issue the command nvecho when I recive the trap and it works
fine. The probleme is that my router is sill green on the map because all
its interfaces are up. How can I change its status of the router so the
color of the router change to red on the map.
