HI I've been sitting here for past few days trying to forward ServerWorks traps to NMS. BAD LUCK, nothing happens. General traps are forwarded OK, but it do not send anything of OID 1.3.6.1.4.1.36... traps. I've tried both SW2.2 and SW3 (BL26) on W95, WNT4.0 Intel (SP2 and SP3) WNT4.0 Alpha. Settings done by the book, and SNMP community is PUBLIC so security should not be the reason. I get those alarms, but i cannot forward them. If we are going to document this property in SW3 documents it must also work. If i try to look at POLLER output file, it looks like poller is not doing ServerWorks own trap generation at all. What proses is the one that reads TRAPFWD.INI ? Regards, Jari Aitokari

| 282.1 | Trap Forwarding is limited | ALFSS2::OLSEN_G | Real Men Go Wireless! | Thu May 29 1997 09:44 | 20 |
Trap forwarding to Enterprise Managers is limited to standard SNMP
"Environmental" traps only. These are described in note 203.1.
That means all the ServerWORKS extensions are NOT able to be forwarded
(ie CPU Utilization, Disk space utilization, etc.) due to limitations
of the OS SNMP agents to allow extensions like ServerWORKS to work.
However, that is only true for Netware, Digital Unix, and NT. The SCO
agent reportedly will forward all of them - if you can find a SCO
machine ;-).
There are a couple of good white papers on the internal web site on
trap integration but they are both unclear as to what will be
forwarded. To get the 4 traps noted to forward, just compile the
ServerWORKS Mibs. Note that ServerWORKS manager can be installed within
the framework of Net View and thus Net View will get all the SW Traps.
