Along this same line, I am fighting another problem: I run mib2trap against a
particular MIB and get:
========================================================
/usr/OV/snmp_mibs # mib2trap CPQ_V2.0.1aTRP.mib output.file
Errors - no script generated.
IMPORTS(is a reserved word): On or around line 16

It looks like it trying to import some stuff from RFC1155-SMI, swmib-smiv1, and
RFC1215. Am I right? If so, where can I get these RFCs in a 'loadable'
format? I know I have the swmib-smiv1 under a different name and can fix. If
I'm all wet, can someone point me to the right place?

Kevin -
Please clarify your question again, and this time use a new subject more
explict than the last one.
I cannot tell just what you are asking, and the old subject doesn't seem
appropriate.
Are you asking how to configure a Cisco agent to send you a particular trap
when a certain threshold is exceeded?
Then clarify what Cisco agent (what box is it?) and what MIB variable from what
MIB? If this is what you want, then you have to be specific enough so that
some Cisco-savvy person can assist you. Put Cisco in your subject to catch his
or her attention.
If it is not Cisco, who do you have in mind to do the monitoring, MLM or
snmpCollect on the NetView box itself? Both are capable.
Are you asking how to get snmpCollect to collect on a particular Cisco MIB
variable and send you trap when it is exceeded? He can do that himself and
there is no need to involve MLM. And the documentation is in the NetView Admin
Guide under MIB Data Collection, but generally you would load the MIB first, if
it is in SNMP V1 format. Otherwise you would edit snmpCol.conf manually,
using some other entry as a guide. So again, let's be more specific and talk
about what MIB variable from what MIB. Is it an SNMP V2 MIB? Have you used
snmpCollect before?
Or are you asking how to set up MLM to collect on a MIB variable and send you a
trap? He also can do that, too, just as snmpCollect can. Then you would use
the MLM doc to find out how to configure the appropriate table using smconfig.
Have you used smconfig before?
So what are you trying to do? If you ask the right question, I am sure someone
can help.

Subject: RE: [NV-L] snmp setup
If I may piggyback on this issue,
I am running Netview 6.01 on
Aix 4.3 I too am interesting in generating a trap from a mib vairiable. The
mib is a cisco mib that monitor cpu activity on a router. My wish is to
create a threshold using this mib and when the threshold is met generate a
trap to the MLM wich then will forward the events to my Netview servers. My
experience is similar to the author of this note. Is there documentation that
explains step by step how to load and then get trap-events for mibs that arent
defined to your platform?

First, loading the MIB does not add trap settings, period. Never has in
Netview . You can only add trap settings from a MIB by running mib2trap on
the MIB. This creates, in NT, a .bat file, (a script in UNIX), which contains
a series of addtrap commands built from the TRAP-TYPE or NOTIFICATION-TYPE
statements in the MIB. If the .bat file is empty, then there were no such
statements in the MIB, which means that it does not define any traps. If you
are in doubt about that, then browse the MIB with Notepad or Wordpad an take a
look. If the .bat file is not empty, then you must execute that file to add
the traps. Adding the Enterprise Id manually is not necessary. Addtrap will
do that and add the specific traps as well.

Hello All,
I am having a little issue, i loaded the required mib in to Netview 6.02 on
NT. I am able to use the MIB Browser and walk through the tree succesfully.
When i go into the view the trap settings there is nothing visible under the
Enterprise for this MIB, so i created a new entry for the Enterprise. Still
no traps are visible. I attempted to use mib2trap with no success, any and
all advice for be greatly appreciated. Thanks..........
