CA_EOID2STR (Enterprise OID displayed as)

Applies to Windows only

SNMP trap messages include a field for the enterprise OID (object identifier). The setting controls how the OID is displayed in that field.

NUMBER

Displays the seventh element of the complete enterprise OID, for example, 791.

OID

Displays the entire enterprise OID, for example, 1.3.6.1.4.1.791.

STRING

Displays a MIB string translation of the complete enterprise OID.

NAME

Displays the translated name of the company or organization that owns this enterprise MIB number, for example, Computer.Associates. (The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority-IANA-assigns enterprise MIB numbers to a given organization and reserves those numbers for exclusive use by that organization from that point forward.)

The enterprise.dat file in the %CAIGLBL0000%\DB directory governs the translation. You can add your own entries to the file. The layout is as follows:

First column

Numeric enterprise ID (last element of the OID).

Second column

Name of the company that owns the enterprise ID. This string is used when a trap is sent to Event Manager. For example:

791 Computer.Associates International Greg Jones greg10@usxxxxxx.x.x

791

Is the enterprise ID for CA

Computer.Associates

Is the string used when the trap is sent to Event Manager.

Notes:

Only the first blank-separated word is used in column two. Use a period (.) to connect a company name that has more than one word.

Comment lines begin with a pound sign (#) and are ignored.

Default: NUMBER
