Hi,
Hope someone can
help - I've done a bunch of searching but seem to have got
nowhere...
I'm trying to manage
some Nortel routers - these are the ones that don't write the
ifOperStatus/ifAdminStatus to the standard MIB (at
all/reliably).
Each router has 3 IP
addresses (two frame, one lan). They also have a backup ISDN interface
which kicks in if both frames go down, but this shares one of the frame IP
addresses & since SNMP wont work (above) I can't use the ISDN dormant bit of
the seed file - we can workaround just checking the IP
addresses.
So my plan (which of
course could be a bad plan!) is to discover them as SNMP nodes by putting a
$IPaddr entry in the seed file, but then configure netmon to disable SNMP
status polling & only use ICMP polling against the 3 interfaces that are
discovered.
In NT (w2k, NV
7.1.3) I can see under Options->Polling I can set "Poll all nodes" to "on"
and the drop-down to "Disable All SNMP status polling". This puts a
"-E" in the netmon.lrf & updates ovsuf. Will this mean that any
device (even if discovered as an SNMP device) will be status polled using
ICMP?
Also - where is the
equivalent setting on a Unix machine? I'm using Linux with NV 7.1.3
and can see the menu option to turn status polling on/off, but not one to set
status polling to be ICMP rather than SNMP.
Many thanks in
advance....
