I am VERY sure that SNMP set works, I did half of the configurations with snmp set! anyway IBM support told me this is the normal behavior for NETMON server in Windows Netview: it doesn't do any sets to MLMs ...hmmm!!.. hard to believe

thanks

Two thoughts on this...

Are you quite sure that your SNMP community names permit writes as well as reads??? With the windows MLM, you also need to do an SNMP set to ensure that the running MLM configuration gets saved away - have you done this?

-now, netview receive from MLMs traps about nodes status up or down

-netview doesn' t ping anymore MLM's nodes so I'm sure the MLMs are working

-I know that when netview makes a poll to a MLM it does some snmp gets and

also snmp sets (to upgrade mlm configurations )

-in my case I installed ethereal, listen the net and I don't see any snmp set! only gets from each MLM. what's wrong? the community names are good

the aliaslist never gets updated ! so, I have to do it manually??!! it's absurd!

(I manually did some sets, and I never received a trap for bad community name)

thanks,
Lucian
