Dietmar,
I have several Cicso/3000 VPN
Concentrators.
I have tried various options, including
SNMP polling, Discovery off, config polling 5yrs, DEFAULT IP as indicated
below. Nothing prevented the dynamic interfaces from being discovered managed,
except the following.
Edit the /usr/OV/conf/oid to type file and add the appropriate
OID with an "I".
# I Treat the device as if it did not
support SNMP. This would be used
# to disable SNMP operations to
devices whose agents misbehaved in
# such a way as to cause
problems.
1.3.6.1.4.1.3076.1.2.1.1.1.2:cisco
Systems:Cisco Switch:I #3000 VPN Concentrator
The "I" prevents the dynamic interfaces from being
discovered.
This is the only way I could get it to
work for me.
This gives me the correct symbol and only
a single "real" interface.
I really don't care about
the dynamic interfaces and don't want them turning my map red.
The only other option that I can think of would be to write a
"auto-acknowledge" or "auto-unmanage" script that monitors these nodes and
acknowledges or unmanages the interfaces when they fail. This seems like
a lot of unnecessary work.

try to add:
DEFAULT IP: : :U
on top of the /usr/OV/conf/oid to type
if i change oid/registration files i do always
a /usr/OV/bin/ovw
-config
/usr/OV/bin/ovw -fields
/usr/OV/bin/ovw -verify
Also you might want to use the location.conf - if you have a
lot of
networks created in the vpn area to have them
in one location - and not
populated on the root
map.

Dietmar

Subject: [nv-l] Monitoring a VPN Concentrator
Hello All,
I am running Netview version 7.1.2 on AIX 4.3.3.
I have a Cisco Series 3000 VPN
Concentrator. When VPN connections are
made, Netview discovers the interface and adds it to the map,
under the
VPN Node. When the VPN connection is
terminated, the virtual interface is
no longer present
and Netview changes the status to red. We need a way to
ignore the virtual interfaces or at a minimum, discover
them as unmanaged.
Because these nodes are interfaces
and not nodes, we are unable to exclude
the IP
ranges in the seed file and using the "discover unmanaged" option
in SNMP Configuration does not work either.
How do others manage these types of devices?
Thank you in advance for any help,
Charlie Clinkscales
