Thank you Juergen and Louie.
Armed with Juergen's reply I went to my vender asking them to help me set a
community string in their software. I have yet to receive a response. After
collecting a sum of data I have found that the community string contains
the name of the component that generated the message. In the network I have
over three thousand components that could and do generate messages. Setting
scotty up to receive traps regardless of community is a very attractive
proposition. I am not a programmer but would like to try to set this up. If
you would suggest a starting point and some reference materials, or worst
case let me know if this is beyond the common sysadmin.
Thanks again for all of the help.
