> Problem Description:
> We are receiving IBM_NVNDWN_EV   node down events in error.  There are
> cases when we receive the node down event, but when we check the node we
> find that it  was never down and operating normally.  The network links to
> these devices are 56kb to 128 kb.  Is it possible that the timeout values
> and/or the retry values in the SNMP configuration needs  to be adjusted?
> The customer did adjust the values to 60.0 for timeout and left the retry
> count at 3 but still had problems.
> Would using a value of 60.0 for the timeout value cause other problems?
> Should we look at using MLMs at the remote sites to do the polling?  Will
> MLMs also have any problems communicating to the NetView server over slow
> links.
> Any help or advice will be appreciated.
