Hi,

  Actually, Optivity NMS will forward any traps it isn't programmed
specifically to correlate.  It forwards these traps in raw format to the
platform.  We do correlate a couple of Cisco traps ("Protocol Entity
Reinit" and "tty TCP Conn Closed") but otherwise we pass 'em on to NetView.

Just FYI,

Sr. Product Manager - Optivity NMS, Network Management Division
