Sabirali,
Answer to question 1:
The plain green square is displayed because NetView cannot resolve the SNMP OID of the router in it's /usr/OV/conf/C/oid_to_sym file.
This can be caused by several factors The most likely is that you do not have the correct community name to the router. Therefore, NetView cannot obtain the OID from the router. It is also possible that the router OID is not registered in NetView's oid_to_sym file.
 
Answer to question 2:
Pull-down Create--> Dynamic Work Space from the Events application.  Then use some combination Severity and a string match for the unreachable events.

Hi all,

 

Situation 1.

 

Has anyone experienced the following, I installed NetView 7.1 on Solaris 2.8 and the server seems to discover all nodes but the interesting thing is that routers gets discovered and are represented by the green square box, so to rectify this I loaded the mib and checked that snmp/cs are set/enabled. I then deleted one router from all maps and again the node got discovered and is still represented by the green square box.

 

I delete the object once more and then add it MANUALY and the correct symbol is displayed, using loadhosts I still get the green square box

 

Any ideas is this a bug, I hope not as there are more than hundred routers in this state.

 

Situation 2.

 

When a router goes down it turns red but the event comes up as unreachable, how can I create a dynamic work space to list all nodes that are down i.e. unreachable/critical

 

 

Many thanks in advance,
