I agree. We have a large ATM network, and we do not poll
the remote routers - we use the incoming link up / link down traps from the
local side routers. We do poll the local side routers to make sure they are up
of course. Even with that, I think you would be okay polling them for status on
a 5 minute interval - with SNMP or with pings.
Thanks for the info Stephen.....and yes we are planning to setup the
sending and reception of SNMP traps....but it will be awhile before I can get
to it.
Brian,
Isn't a ping only 52 bytes, and a response slightly
larger?
I always think that a greater question is if you have(or
will) enabled SNMP traps from those devices to NetView.
