When modifying the "unix.asn1" MIB to include an enterpriseSpecific
variable, we found that we could generate an enterpriseSpecific event
which could be trapped by DECmcc T1.2.4.
When doing a "SHOW CHARACTERISTICS" on "trapper" we got the infamous
"--Attribute Not Gettable" error message for "dataTrap" indicating
that the agent was not cooperating.
Here is what was added to the bottom of "unix.asn1" (ISODE agent):
----------------------------------------------------------------------
trapper OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { unix 8}
dataTrap OBJECT-TYPE
SYNTAX DisplayString (SIZE (0..79))
ACCESS read-write
STATUS mandatory
DESCRIPTION
"The trap used for all groups wanting to send a critical
message to me."
::= { trapper 1 }
END
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Can anyone see what is wrong with this??
If we change the "SYNTAX" line above to read
SYNTAX INTEGER
we can get a value returned by the agent.
If you need more of the MIB, I'll get it for you, but I have to type it
all in by hand.
Thanks,
Dan

It's not clear to me what you're trying to accomplish. What does this new object have to do with enterpriseSpecific traps? | |||||

Dan,
Basically, my customer has taken the ISODE MIB (unix.asn1) and
added the object definitions mentioned in .0 . He then modified the
ISODE daemon code to include variable list definitions of the objects
mentioned (trapper & dataTrap).
The ISODE daemon uses an smux_trap procedure call to generate
the enterpriseSpecific event trap, with data then being passed to the
SNMP daemon via smux_trap.
PROBLEM:
We have seen the "string" and "integer" data come across on a SUN
running SUNnet Manager, but SnM can display only INTEGER data. (By the
way, SnM is being tested against DECmcc to see which works better for
this task.)
DECmcc SNMP AM works well to sink the event and alarm the icon, but we
can't do a "SHOW CHARACTERISTICS" on the ISODE (unix) private MIB
object (trapper) to see anything but "--Attribute Not Gettable" for the
"dataTrap" object.
QUESTIONS:
Is there something missing (like SEQUENCE OF) in the MIB definition as
described in .0 ?
Before I got the SINK process to work, I was getting SNMP event
messages logged via OPCOM on my VAXstation. Is there a command or
logical that can be used to force this to happen again?
Thanks,
-Dan
