Find OID of trap

Folks,

I am receiving a particular trap and I need to know the explicit OID (the .1.3.6...); when I go to event configuration everything is in text - is there a way short of opening the MIB to get this information?

Thanks
Joe

Re: Find OID of trap

Joseph M., there are several ways to do this.
One is, if you are running NNM, goto the snmp_mibs directory, and search for the names you see listed. They will show up is a particular MIB. Once you know the name of the MIB, open NNM's MIB Browser and drill down into that MIB. If it is a 'private' MIB, then you can be assured that it will start out as 1.3.6.1.4.1. Then it will be vendor specific. Cisco is 9, CA is 791, and so forth.

HTH
