Tip You can verify the settings by selecting each MIB OID and clicking Start Query. When you do this
for snmpNotifyRowStatus, it should show four entries set to active. When you have verified the
settings, you can close the MIB browser window.
Step 14 Click Close.
Step 15 At this point, HP OpenView should start receiving alarms from the Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch. You
can verify this by, for example, performing a set-sc-state MML command to take a signaling channel
out of service.
Formatting Trap Messages
When HP OpenView receives the traps from the Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch, HP OpenView does not
automatically interpret the trap and display it in a useful manner. The trap is sent with basic information
indicating the alarm category, description, and severity. Because many failures require extra detail for
troubleshooting, you should refer to the log file on the Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch for complete alarm
information and for determining root causes.
You can, however, configure HP OpenView to format the traps into a more readily understandable format
by following the steps below:
Step 1 Open the Event Configuration window by selecting Options | Event Configuration from the
HP OpenView menu.
Step 2 Under Enterprise Name, select TransPath. The five alarm types should be displayed under Event
Identification.
Step 3 Double-click one of the event names under Event Identification; for example, commAlarm.
Step 4 Under Event Log Message, enter the message that you want logged to the HP OpenView log file when
HP OpenView receives this alarm. You can use variables from the following table in your message to
provide specific information about the alarm.
