Hello
list..
I am attempting to setup the SNMP API on IBM HMC to be notified of
incidents that occur on the HMC itself.
My local vendor and myself were able
to configure the API but the data we are getting back from the HMC is in
HEX not ASCII
Which is another problem.. But we
are receiving the following message in Netview log:
Wed Jan 28 14:54:30 2004
<none>
T Application ID: 4. Name/Address: <none>. Description:
WARNING:
invalid SNMPTrap packet from agent 167.69.236.21 source A pid -1
Can anyone out there tell me what's
going on here?
Any help would be appreciated,
thanks Patrick
Patrick,
I am not familiar with the SNMP API on the Hardware Management Console
but SNMP messages are encoded according to the encoding rules for
different data types and can carry all kinds of data types, not just
ASCII. I would turn on hexdumps and trap tracing and see what NV is
getting. (See the -T and -x options on trapd.) Then we may be able to
tell you what is going on.
