All,

     I'm working with 3COM regarding traps sent to NetView from a CB 3500
     layer 3 switch. The issue is the power_supply_failed trap. When you
     pull one of the redundant supplies, you get 3 separate traps, each of
     which is power_supply_failed, but with a unique OID that states 5
     volts, 12 volts, and A/C failed.

     If 3COM chose to create 3 traps instead of one, this would not be an
     issue, but I must now somehow customize/correlate within NetView so I
     don't get 3 tickets ( I'm using mib2trap). I'm fairly new to
     customizing traps--is this common in the SNMP world, or do some
     vendors just supply substandard MIBs? Can others who have CB3500's
     provide any advice?


     Thanks,


     DVO
