mib2trap specifically looks for TRAP-TYPE and that's all
Traps in trapd.conf are organized by enterprise -- the oid of who is
sending it, regardless of what it is about. So an agent implementing
SNMPV2 would have to include any traps under his enterprise.
And most SNMPV2 data is made available via SNMPGET rather than by trap, so
I'm afraid I am not aware of what a NOTIFICATION-TYPE is in this regard.
What MIB are you looking at?

Do SNMPv2 traps also need to be defined in the /usr/OV/conf/C/trapd.conf
file? If so, it appears that the "mib2trap" executable does *not* convert
SNMPv2 traps defined as "NOTIFICATION-TYPE" in the MIB file into a script
using the "addtrap" command. I see that these traps are defined in the
MIB,
but I assume the trapd.conf file also needs how to translate these as well
when NV receives them, not? Does NV handle these differently? I am not
familiar with the "NOTIFICATION-TYPE" SNMP identifier - I assume this is
specific to SNMPv2? Thanks,

NO, NO, NO. NetView does NOT load any trap definitions when you compile
mibs. This is a misconception.
Adding trap definitions is a separate step. If you have a MIB with trap
definitions in it, the you must use the mib2trap function to get an addtrap
script generated, and this in turn will add your traps to trapd.conf when
it is run.
To get this function to work properly, you must be at NetView V5.1
(Sorry if you find my emphasis offensive. I have been trying to stamp out
this misconception for some time).

Hi
Normally which you compile the mibs, Netview will/should load the all the
trap
definitions supllied with the specific mib. So try and load the mibs...
