Re: [NV-L] Trap OSPF

By design, the node and interface status reflected in the map is IP status, unmodified by any traps received. You can alter that if you wish, but be aware that a change in IP status will override your status.

I'm not positive of the menu selections on the windows platform any more, but you can change the definition of the trap to make it a Status Event, and then set the status. Really, the design of the product is that you should create some object of your own, and change its status, but it works well enough, I think, just changing the status of the node that sent the trap. I suggest setting it to Marginal. You will need to know the Enterprise number and the Generic and Specific trap ids for the exact trap you want to modify. If there is a clearing event, (like a down and an up), you can set the status back to Normal.

For an operator to clear the status that was set by an incoming trap, you only need to Acknowledge/Unacknowledge the node. That will restore the status to the IP status.

Subject	[NV-L] Trap OSPF

Hi

I am working with netview 7.1.4 on a W2K station.

I'would like to know how to change the status of a router when i recive an OSPF trap when my router lose a neigbors.

I am able to issue the command nvecho when I recive the trap and it works fine. The probleme is that my router is sill green on the map because all its interfaces are up. How can I change its status of the router so the color of the router change to red on the map.
