RE: [nv-l] why dont i see traps on netview?

While
this problem has been solved, i am having difficulty in getting the event
description field for the traps in the event browser to display all the
variables in the name-type-value format. Basically, i set the event description
field in the properties for the trap as follows.
Trap
received from arcsight with $# args: $*.
This
seems to have updated the entry for the trap in the trapd.conf. I have stoped
and restarted all the daemons, but yet the Description field for the trap int he
event browser complains "Trap found with no known format in
trapd.conf[4].
How do
i fix this problem?
Thanks

Are the traps your agent sends in SNMP V1 or SNMP V2 format?
NetView for Windows only supports SNMP V1 traps. All others will
be discarded.

Subject: [nv-l] why dont i see traps
on netview?

Hi
I installed netview 7.1.3 for windows on
windows 2000 server operating
system. The snmp and snmp trap services were
started before installation. I
have a standalone version of netview.
Our product has a mib, but only supports traps, i.e, it sends out
traps and
does not have the standard snmp agent functionality which
responds to snmp
get, set, next requests. Will this prevent netview from
displaying traps?
I of course loaded our mib successfully and
configured our enterprise and
the specific trap using trap settings option.
I have also used the mib2trap
utility to add the specific trap of our
product in the trapd.conf file. I
see somthings coming from our node where
our product is installed, but not
the traps the product is
sending.
Can any one help how i can configure netview to display the
traps? Oh, by
the way, i snooped on port 162 using the windump (tcpdump for
windows) and i
do see the traps that are coming from our product to the pc
where netview is
installed, but netview is somehow either not picking up or
not displaying
them. Wondering, what am i missing? I seem to have
configured everything
that the product is asking me to confiugre. And also,
i dont see anything in
the trapd.log
file.
Thanks
Girish
