    This is a known problem and is caused by the large size of the Netview
    GetRequest. The size of the GetRequest is such that the GetResponse would
    be >1500 bytes.  The correct behavior (RFC1157) is for the EF to reply 
    with an error status of tooBig and an error index of 0.  
     
    A work around is to limit the number of  MIB objects in a Netview 
    GetRequest.  Netview does provide a way to limit the number of mib 
    objects in a single GetRequest.  The procedure to do this is - 
        - Stop snmpCollect
        - Modify usr/OV/conf/ovsuf so that the line that begins with
          "0:snmpCollect:"  includes the -m qaulifier which specifies the
          maximum number of mib objects in each request
                0:snmpCollect:/usr/OV/bin/snmpCollect:OVs_YES_START:nvsecd,trapd,
                ovwdb,ovtopmd:-m16:OVs_WELL_BEHAVED:120:
                        (this example specifies a max of 16 objects)
        - Start snmpCollect

|  |     Thanks Tom. I had the NetView part but I couldn't see the
    POLYCENTER for the trees.

| 3361.5 | Polycenter was an octopus | PTOJJD::DANZAK | Pittsburgher � | Sat Mar 16 1996 07:38 | 9 | 
|  |     Actually "Polycenter" marketing came up with an octopus as a marketing
    campaign.  I understood from talking to the consultant who was at one
    company who was using MCC (one of our attempts at network management)
    that about two years ago when we were in consolidate and cancel mode
    with products - every time that we cancelled a product the company had
    another arm cut off of their large octopus poster.
    
    I think that eventually he was sort of stubby....
