2574.0. "SNMP traps on DECconcentrator 500???" by CSC32::WOESTEMEYER (Why??...Why not!!!) Mon Mar 16 1992 18:59

As almost a last resort, I hope that someone can assit me with SNMP
Traps on a DECconcentrator 500, V3.1.

At this point in time I have managed to set the IP address for SNMP
traps to be sent to via DECmcc - ELM.  I have set up a sink via DECmcc 
and alarms to check for interface ups.  No matter how I initialize a link
off the concentrator, power cycle the box, disable/enable a link, etc 
I can not get a trap to fire.  Using a similar alarm I can get the same
type of trap from a Translan Bridge.

Looking at snmpinTraps and snmpoutTraps via the SNMP/TCPIP access module 
these counters do not increment, staying at "0".  Since the only SNMP
managaement station I have available to me is DECmcc and the SNMP access
module I have added the DEC_ELAN_VENDOR_MIB_V20 to the dictionary and parse
tables.

The release notes for V3.1 of the concentrator indicates that the DEC
Vendor MIB, has "futher details" for setting up traps, yet I can find
no details to help in this questions.  The release notes also indicate
which SNMP object is to be the hostIpAddress for SNMP traps, how or can 
the hostIpAddress be set via the SNMP access module?

Last but not least, the customer I am working with upgraded all his 
DECconcentrator 500 from Model A01 to A03, with the console port.  
He used the console port to set his hostIpAddress.  I have access to the
same model concentrator and have tried using the RS232 port, unsuccessfully. 
All I can get out if it is garbage, does someone know the speed, character
size, and parity this port uses?

Thanks for any and all Help,
Steve Woestemeyer

Well,
    
    I have gotten some help in the FDDI notes file, but no success.  Since
    I am trying to get these trap notifications by MCC, I will also post
    the log file of the latest attempt here.  Note, traps are received from
    a Translan bridge, but not a DECconcentrator 500.  Using MCC T1.2.4
