RE: [NV-L] Pix/ASA Firewall status monitoring problem

Yes, I'm doing that for the paired ones. Some of the ASA appliances are not paired. This particular one is appropriately marked in the seed file. We have eleven boxes with four pairs and three loners. We have this problem with nine of the boxes and DNS lookup problems with the other two. I have yet to get any of the PIX or ASA systems functioning as advertised.

I don't know if it's hardware, configuration or bugs on my end. Since a normal SNMPWALK for the INTERFACES table works perfectly well but the demand poll doesn't I figured I'd query the community for input then open a PMR on this part of the problem if necessary. Demand poll should work if SNMPWALK does. Once I'm sure my side is clean I can start beating on the PIX/ASA side.

Isn't this the kind of device you can identify to Netview as a pix failover pair, and have it poll the proprietary MIB? Are you doing that in the seedfile with the > sighn?

Subject	[NV-L] Pix/ASA Firewall status monitoring problem

Down below my signature is an extract from the netmon.trace -M12 output from a demand poll issued to the inside address of a PIX/ASA firewall. I've removed what I could to make it esier to see the data returned. Names and addresses have been altered. Part way down the listing I see "ifIndex = 2, ifPhysAddress = 0x000000010011, iftype = 135, adminStatus = 1, operStatus = 1" for each of the interfaces. Later I get "Interface 10.10.100.11(index 2): No Admin/Oper Status in ifTable" for the same interface and this is true for all the interfaces present. This makes it very difficult to monitor the device with SNMP. The text returned by the nmdemandpoll is: 15:09:49 SNMP error: noSuchName 15:09:49 Interface 10.10.100.11(index 2): No Admin/Oper Status in ifTable There was a discussion of similar problems with PIX firewalls over a year ago and this resembles some of those issues but it's been a long time since including the installation of NetView 7.1.5.2 for Red Hat 4 on my side of the wire. The firewall device claims to be a "Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance Version 7.2(3)12". Does anyone have any ideas why I get to see this?
