Go to /etc/snmpd.conf and edit the logging level entry to say level=3
instead of level=0. This will cause snmpd to trace what he gets to the
file specified in the other logging entry. If you don't like the location
you can change it there. Once you have the trace going it will tell you
where the bad requests are coming from and what community name is being
used.
Check also /usr/OV/conf/communityNames.conf. If you put other names in
here, then netmon will try them when it is time for new node discovery

HELP!!!
I am receiving a flood of authenticationFailure traps from the NetView
server OS to the netview trapd - it is making Netview unusable due to the
very high rate at which they are coming in. I have checked the community
string settings for both /etc/snmpd.conf and xnmsnmpconf - they match. And
I have stopped and started snmpd to make sure that the current settings
take. Is there anywhere else that NetView or AIX (NV is running on AIX
4.3.3) hides the community string that I need to look at? Right now I have
NV turned off - until I can resolve this it has to stay that way!
Thanks,
Brian
