Hi James,
Mebbe I've missed it, but the only thing I can see mentioned as deprecaated in the 7.1.4 Release Notes is Submap Explorer. I still have an xnmloadmib2 in ?usr/OV/bin........
Cheers,
Jane

The content of the variable will be decoded. But the MIB OID itself will not be unless you load an SNMP V1 version of the MIB with xnmloadmib. The xnmloadmib2 database is not used by trapd at this time. That might change in the future but not now. And the entire issue may be moot as xnmloadmib2 has been deprecated. That's mentioned in the Release Notes.

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
