James:
   The timeout is set at 3.5 seconds for the routers. The routers are FDDI 
attached to the
same Gigaswitch. I am going to shutdown the old interface & see what happens.
Thanks you for the recommendation. I will let you all know the results.

You said pings and demand polls work fine, but if netmon is turning your
interfaces red, it is because its pings are timing out.  I suggest you run
xnmsnmpconf and look at the default timeouts for these interfaces and see
about raising the timeout a bit.

Subject:  Change Of NV6K IP ADDR





Hi All:
  I have a  RISC6K F50 with FDDI, Fast Ethernet & 10 meg Ethernet. I have
changed the
default gateway from the 10 meg to the FDDI nic. The FDDI connects to a
gigaswitch
concentrator that also houses the router with the IP address I am using as
default.
Now, NETMON is detecting  "interface down" alerts frequently on all my
routers
interfaces. Shortly after, I see the "interface up" alert and all my router
icon turn green
again.
 I did run reset_ci after my change. Is there another utility needed?
netstat -nr shows:
 "default                     xxx.xxx.xxx.xx    UG   23    767159    fi0  -
-" Where xxx is the IP
address I have specified as the default gateway. Pings & demand poll work
fine.
The last entry on the display shows:
 "www.www.ww      yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy    U   159    771354  fi0  -  -"
Where www is the
subnet  and yyy is the IP address of my Netview box.
Running:
 NV4.1.2 PTF LVL U453385
AIX 4.2.1.4
Thanks in advance
