Re: [nv-l] Authentication failure traps
2005-09-07 07:12:26
The authentication traps are most likely
generated by devices in your network such as routers and your routers have
been configured to send their traps to your NetView Server. Your routers
are generating authentication traps because somebody is sending SNMP requests
to it with the wrong community name. Unless the SNMP agents on the routers
are smart enough to include the IP address (in the trap it sends to NetView)
of the device trying to access your router, you won't be able to tell from
a NetView perspective who is causing it.
You could try looking at the router's
SNMP log....maybe your routers log that detail. Or you could try monitoring
the SNMP traffic going into the router using iptrace or tcpdump or......

| [nv-l] Authentication failure
traps |
|
Hi
Netview 7.1.4 on Win2K3
Is there any way we can identify
the IP / Hostname of the device, which causes the snmp traps.
I can see the origin and find
out the device it is generated, but not able to find from which IP is trying
to access.
Is the Authentication failure
traps are generated by the NMS (NetView itself)?
Best regards,
