What problem exactly are you trying to solve?

Is it that you cannot browse the MIBs or that your traps are unformatted?
Loading the MIB, by itself will not automatically define the traps to trapd
in NetView.   I have been told that HP OpenView has this facility, but in
NetView this is a multi-step process.  You don't have to load the MIB to
define the trap.

If the defining the trap is what you want to do, then you probably don't
need rfc 1215 at all.  What you need is either the addtrap script you can
get from Cisco which will define all their traps (about 400 of 'em I think)
to NetView, or you can take the Cisco MIBs which define traps and run
mib2trap against them and see if they will produce good addtrap scripts for
you.

Subject:  rfc 1215 mib definition file





I'm trying to get Netview 5.1/NT to recognize the unsolicited traps sent by
my cisco routers (link up, down, authentication failure, etc.); I've loaded
what I thought to be all the necessary mib definition files, except for
rfc-1215, which I can't seem to find anywhere on the net (the description
document I've located, yet the actual definition file is nowhere in
downloadable form).  Can anyone help?  Thanks much,
