Bill:
      I would love to see what a Wireshark trace would show.  Is the demand
poll actually sending out what we think and if so, what is actually coming
back.
                                                                                
   
 Thank you,

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?

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?
