We have not seen this problem using the HP Open View Network Nodemanager
(or Interconnect Manager based on the modules purchased) but we have not looked
out carefully for set requests of the Nodemanager.

This is not in the standard MIB, it is

internet.private.enterprises.hp.nm.snmp.trap.trapDestinationTable
.trapDestinationEntry

If the Nodemanager finds a HP maschine which it should manage, then
it sets the above mentioned object of that maschine to the IP address of the
Nodemanager.  

One time we saw that the Nodemanager tried also to set variables on a DEC
maschine (the system administrator complaint about that, so we unmanaged the
system).

In your case it seems that the Nodemanager tries to set this object in your 
CISCO box with IP-address 129.60.57.9. This is naturally not possible because
CISCO does not know about HP private MIBs and therefore a bug, which should be
reported to HP. Maybe it is fixed in the next release 3.1 which we hope to 
install next week.

BTW, there is no reverse mapping for 129.60.57.9 in the DNS.
