Working around the private management trap bug

A problem with the private management traps in HP OpenView 4.0 and 5.0 affects
the following variables:
• rcCardDown
• rcCardUp
• rcErrorNotification
• rcStpNewRoot
• rcStpTopologyChange
Although the trap MIB is defined correctly and loads without problems, HP
OpenView does not properly process event object identifiers (OIDs) that have
embedded zeros. HP OpenView appears to ignore "0" and drops it from the
OID. This bug results in HP OpenView logging these traps as undefined.For
example, rcCardDown is defined with OID 1.3.6.1.4.1.2272.1.21.0.1, but HP
OpenView processes it with an OID of 1.3.6.1.4.1.2272.1.21.1 in its event
configuration file.
To work around this problem:
1
Select Event Configuration under Options.
2
Select enterprise name rcMgmt.
3
Select Copy event under Edit.
