Re: [nv-l] snmp/icmp polling
2003-01-06 13:22:33
Hi Karl,
I think part of your answer is to use the ^ (caret) symbol. If you
have, for example $10.1.2.* but want to ping-poll some of those devices
(eg. 10.1.2.3) then put ^10.1.2.3 in the seedfile.
I'm not at all sure that that is going to give you the result you want
though. I had a feeling that the ping-polling / snmp-polling was
determined on a per-node basis, not on a per-interface - anyone confirm
that?
The $ syntax in the seedfile doesn't actually affect discovery - that is
fundamentally done by a response to a ping. The $ entries simply say
"once this node is discovered, use SNMP to status poll".
Cheers,
Jane

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....
Karl
