So,
what should i do to correct the problem ?
ps :
my communityNames.conf file is empty...
ps :
those devices that generate error are there since a
while....
thanks
Dominic
I've never been able to get the exact relationship straight but
there is an interaction between new node discovery, the "daily" CONFIGURATION
poll, the communityNames.conf file and Authentication traps. It may also
be involved with a restart of NetView.
On discovery you will find NetView taking it's community names
from the communityNames.conf file and trying them in turn after trying the
default community string. If the correct one is not the default you will
get an authentication trap from the router solicited. (Unless authentication
trap forwarding is set off on the Cisco device.)
This may be happening on your restart. It would happen if
these were new devices in the seed file on the NETMON daemon startup. I'm
not sure about existing devices since they should have an existing defined
community string. The documentation doesn't clearly state how that factors into
the configuration polling sequence.

I've talked to someone of the telecom department and it seem
to have no error log or something about snmp
authentification...
These error seem to have begin when we restart netview (Monday)
....
Is there a relation about restarting netview AND these error
???
Thanks Dominic

Isn't there a log on the router which will tell you why it sent
the trap?

Hello All,
we reveive a netview event "trap authenticationFailure" from 3
of our routers. Nothing has been change from Netview.
Why now Netview (sxptiv0009), receive this event from only 3 of
our routers ? (Netview try to get some info of these 3 routers and the acces
seem to be denied...but when we doing "mib browser" info seem to be
there...
Can it be a error in the router configuration even if we know
that the community is set ok each both side (router / netview) ?
