I was in a similar situation as Killer. I've come a long ways baby in six months. I've learned it all from downloaded manuals and manpages. Still have a long long ways to go. I am still an infant. We are in production but have problems from time to time. The latest one was my fault. I decided I needed to delete MIBS we were't using. Bad idea, now I have a problem. I need to identify which MIB I need to reload for a couple of traps that I am getting. Forgive me if I don't use the correct verbage but I think the correct statement is that I am receiving multiple traps for 1.3.6.1.4.1.23.2.34.0.* for coldstart and coldstop alerts. The error is no format configured. There is no mib loaded for these so I can't filter them. How can I identify which MIB I need to reload. I've had to unload trapd until I get this resolved. Someone said these were Netware MIBs. I don't think I deleted any Netware MIBs. I deleted RMON, KALPANA, and 3COM. Can anyone give me a clue? [sig][/sig]
