That's disappointing. In the meantime, I've worked on the traps that I'm
receiving from this device. I ran mib2trap, on CISCO-LOCAL-DIRECTOR-MIB.my,
and got a set of addtraps. I executed the script to load the definitions.
The mib itself is SNMPv2, so I use xnmload2. I've successfully modified the
trap definition with some English verbiage, but the variable that is sent
with the trap isn't decoded. I can use xnmbrowser2 to find and browse to
it, but it is still in dotted-decimal form in the log file. Is that normal?
Am I seeing a v2 variable in a v1 trap?

The cisco Local Director device has a very badly behaved SNMP agent, if you
ask me. Notice the oid they claim to be using. They answer to very little.
I generally treat them as non-snmp and figure it is sort of like firewalls
- they don't want us to know too much about them. Has anyone else had
better experience with them?

Cordially,

Hi,

When I snmpwalk a particular device, I get responses like this:

>snmpwalk 10.6.1.253 system
Wrong version: 1
Continuing anyway
system.sysDescr.0 : DISPLAY STRING- (ascii):  Cisco LocalDirector

Is this Netview telling me I'm using the wrong version or the
LocalDirector?

7.1.3/AIX5.2
