karl,
I was talking about the "I" flag in oid_to_type. It has probably the same
effect as using the "^" with an oid in the seed file.

snmp/icmp polling

Please respond to
Karl.Prinelle
Thanks for that - I've had another run through the options you suggested
& it seems that there is a difference between using the "^" in the seed
file and using "I" in the oid_to_type. The latter prevents any snmp
operations, although it does set isSNMPSupported to TRUE. The former
also collects SNMP location, description etc.. Taking what you said
about using the oid, I've found that ^@1.3.6.1.4.1...... works to set
icmp status polling from netmon.seed which is a nicer option for those
Nortel devices that won't play fair.
Tracing the network shows that status polling is ICMP as expected, but
are there other differences?
I take your point about the disable all option - I've concentrated on
this problem too much and forgot about the rest of the world! Nothing
better than tunnel vision to start the year ;-)
Many thanks

Karl,
There are flags in netmon.seed to turn off snmp polling for specific
nodes. It will be better than disabling snmp polling for all nodes as
the
Option->Polling does. However you will have to maintain the list of
Option->device
in the seed file.
There is also a flag in oid_to_type to disable snmp for devices that
have specific oid. This would allow you to disable snmp only for theses
Nortel devices...

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....
