  NWAYS CAMPUS MANAGER LAN AIX                                                  
                                                                                
The DLSw is using the public community causing a flood of authentication        
failures. (we do not use PUBLIC, we use getall for read community)              
I have entered /usr/OV/bin/dlswmap -c getall  but nothing changed.              
looking at /usr/OV/conf/dlsw.conf it has not changed˘˘                          
A:                                                                              
Check the file /usr/OV/registration/C/dlsw.reg for the dlswmap                  
application that starts when the NetView EUI is started.                        
(Search for "public"). Change the community to your desired DEFAULT             
community name string...this should resolve your problem but will               
be effective on your next NetView EUI invocation. (The NetView                 
community default is used for this application if no community string           
is specified here).

I went ahead and made this change but a few of our 6611 and 2210's              
are still polled with community name of   public˘˘

Please see update.

You can eliminate RABM(DLSW) by moving the dlsw.reg to another directory        
and restarting your EUI. It could be that other sources are querying            
the devices that you have remaining. The router can be configured to            
show the source of the invalid SNMP query..you might check this to              
validate the source.
