1. The enterprise ID could be either, you should not have had to do what you
did. The base enterprise ID for cisco would be 1.3.6.1.4.1.9 which may
contain a set of traps 0-x. Cisco may (and does) have additional enterprise
IDs for specific device types and/or applications, each beginning
1.3.6.1.4.1.9.x and each with their own set of traps 0-x. From your map do
Options --> Event Configuration --> Trap Customization SNMP and scroll down
to where the cisco IDs begin. It should work like this (using examples
only):
1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.29
1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9
1.3.6.1.4.1.9
The specific trap number is 1. If trapd sees 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.29 it will look
in that section of trapd.conf to format specific trap 1. If there is no
section 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.29 it will drop down to the next "nearest" match
which would be 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9 in this example and format it from there.
Finally, if there is neither a 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.29 or a 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9 it
will drop down to the 1.3.6.1.4.1.9 section to format the trap. Hope this
makes sense.
2. You can configure cisco routers to force the trap source to be whatever
interface you want. Add the following to the configuration of your cisco
routers to force the source IP address of all traps to be the loopback
interface IP:
snmp-server trap-source Loopback0
Hope this helps.
