Ah, now I understand.  There was a bug introduced in 6.0, fixed in 6.0.2,
which prevented traps from being received over TCP by NT's trapd.  The deal
was that in 6.0, NT switched to using MS SNMP Trap Service, instead of
reading the ports directly, so that other, 3rd-party apps on the NT box
could be trap receivers too.  The problem was that the Service only handles
UDP, not TCP, and code had to be put back in for trapd to recognize and
handle TCP session requests. Should be fixed now, but I don't have a record
of whether it was ever tested with MLM specifically.

James,
I know the MLM can send traps via TCP... but can NetView NT
receive TCP MLM traps  (that is my real question).

Thanks for the response.

MLM guy here says you are mistaken, tht MLM can send traps to netmon via
TCP, as that is an option in smconfig.

Having some interest in managing thru firewalls using NetView...
I read with interest the following document

http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/redpieces/pdfs/sg246229.pdf

But (I could be wrong... I read it rather fast) -- it appears that
when using NetView on NT  (as the manager), that an MLM can only
talk UDP and not TCP when talking to NetView on NT.  True or False?

In other words... I know UNIX supports Netview >> MLM over TCP, but
I thought that the NT version never got the TCP support.

Am I right or wrong?

Thanks.

Gary Boyles, Intel
