Not receiving snmp traps - weirdness going on

Not receiving snmp traps - weirdness going on

Hi

In addition to my other post regarding FreeDiskSpace issues, I have another one to throw out to the floor as opManager doesn't seem to be generating alarms from traps received:

- I have configured all servers to send traps to the IP address of my opManager server

- I have imported traps from all the HP MIBS available

- I pull out a redundant PSU from a server and Wireshark sees the SNMP trap coming from that server about a second after the PSU is removed

- I have verified that opManager is listening on port 162 using tcpview.exe and it says that: E:\Program Files\AdventNet\ME\OpManager\jre\bin\java.exe is listening on 'snmptrap'

The weird part(s):

- There have been 10,000 unsolicited traps received from my approx 120 servers within 8 hours - OID .1.3.6.1.4.1.311.1.1.3.1.2 which appears to be an Authentication Failure � not too worried about these right now but it does show that something is being received.. (I�ve disabled the trap processor for these so they don�t appear as alarms)

- The trap generated by pulling out the PSU doesn�t end up in alarms, and doesn�t end up in Unsolicited Traps

- If I change the snmp port under 'SNMP Parameters' to say, 55555, I'd expect tcpview.exe to report the same executable as above to be listening on this - but it doesn't change from 'snmptrap' - I restarted the service and also the server itself to make sure - which makes me think something is rather wrong!

Anyone have any ideas?

Much appreciated, James
