Summary

When monitoring SNMP traps, a customer may see messages in the log files similar to the following:

26 Feb 2009 13:08:37.475 WAS-AGT1 argent_admin Following SNMP trap is



received but matching none criteria of production



                                               SNMP Trap Monitor: Trap



generic=6 specific=2



                                               Enterprise



Oid=.iso.org.dod.internet.private.enterprises.8072.4



                                               (.1.3.6.1.4.1.8072.4)



                                               From <Invalid IP Address>

Technical Background

This is caused by the customer using the Windows SNMP Manager to listen to traps, which only supports SNMPv1.

The message ‘From <Invalid IP Address>‘ message in the log.

Resolution

To address this, customers need to change the registry at the following path:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Argent\ArgentMangementConsole\SNMP_LIBRARY

Change the value to 1 to use the DART library to support SNMPv2.

Change the value to 2 to use the SSNMP library to support SNMPv3.
