Isn't there a log on the router which will tell you why it sent the trap?

Hello All,


we reveive a netview event "trap authenticationFailure" from 3 of our
routers. Nothing has been change from Netview.


Why now Netview (sxptiv0009), receive this event from only 3 of our routers
? (Netview try to get some info of these 3 routers and the acces seem to be
denied…but when we doing "mib browser" info seem to be there...


Can it be a error in the router configuration even if we know that the
community is set ok each both side (router / netview) ?
