5599.0. "SNMP TRAPS --> NO NOTIFICATION TO MAP" by SPANKY::SAWYER () Fri Sep 17 1993 10:47

    Hi,
    
    At a customer site with a 
    	VAXstation 4000/90, VMS 5.5-2
    	DECmcc 1.3
    
    I am having problems with getting SNMP traps from CISCO Routers AGS+
    to be displayed on the iconic map.
    
    I have set up a NOTIFY REQUEST and the MCC_TCPIP_SINK process is
    running.
    
    Notification is ENABLED in the particular domain.
    
    When doing a 
    	MCC> show mcc 0 tcpip_am sink all counters
    
    	The traps show up HERE
    
    But no notification gets displayed to the ICONIC MAP.
    
    I've exhausted all my ideas...any help would be greatly appreciated.
    
    Also, if writing an OCCURS ALARM RULE against an SNMP trap in this
    domain...the RULE FIRES and the icon turns color.
    
    So it seems a problem with NOTIFICATION just on EVENTS...
    
    Thanks,

	Can you do MCC> GETEVENT SNMP * ANY CONFIG EVENT
	or	   MCC> GETEVENT SNMP * CISCO ANY EVENT
	and see if you get the traps?

    Rahul,
    
    I did a 
    	MCC> getevent snmp * any config event
    
    and it just hung...but when checking
    	MCC> show mcc 0 tcpip_am sink all counters
    
    from another process...the counters were increasing..therefore
    again..the traps were being received by the sink process.
    
    	MCC> GETEVENT SNMP * CISCO ANY EVENT
    
    produced an error--> unknown trap def CISCO.

	That is indeed strange. Try to stop and restart the sink. (You can
	stop the sink by disabling all notification and getevent calls. 	
        Reposting the getevent directive should restart the sink). One
	possibility may be that the event pool is corrupt.

	That is probably because you do not have the Cisco mib loaded. But
	the other getevent command should have worked.

	Rahul.
