John,

As you guessed, 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.1.48 is the OID for Cisco 7505 routers.   You can 
get a complete list of those OIDs from the ciscoProducts MIB 
(iso.org.dod.internet.private.enterprises.cisco.ciscoProducts).

The fact you can query your router does not mean this one doesn't send any 
authentication failure traps, maybe you're not the only one to use SNMP on your 
network.
Cisco devices use a variable ($1) in which the address trying to access the 
device without the right community (or without being allowed to by an 
access-list on the device) appears.

Add this variable in your trapd definition and see who is offending your device.


Hope this helps,
Regards,
Bernard Baudoux,
Fortis Banque.

I have NetView 7.1.2 on Solaris 8 (+All recommended SUN patches)
Since I turned NetView on this week I keep getting loads of traps like the
following:

A authenticationFailure trap received from enterprise cisco with 1
argument: authAddr= "my_netview_server"
SPECIFIC    :     0 (hex: 0)
GENERIC     :     4
CATEGORY    :     Status Events
ENTERPRISE  :     cisco 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.1.48
SOURCE      :     Agent  (A)
HOSTNAME    :     "cisco 7505's IP address"
SEVERITY    :     Indeterminate
LOGGEDTIME  :     09/18/02 06:25:01 AM

If I click Browse MIB and follow down the tree I can get to
.1.3.6.1.4.1.9.1...
or
.iso.org.dod.internet.private.enterprise.enterprises.cisco.ciscoProducts...

But I cannot find the final .48 in the tree.

I do not think the error is related to community names as when I click
"Start Query" anywhere in the MIB tree, I get in the messages window if the
MIB browser:
Note using community "our_read_Community_Name" for node "cisco 7505's IP
address"
and it returns a value

Anyone know what's happening. I get similar traps from other cisco devices
(but obviously with either OID values - which also do not resolve the last
value).

Is this because the OS of the cisco devices do not match the MIBs I have
installed.
Please - any info anyone - out network managers are complaining about the
volume of traps.
