Subject: Re: WTDEPEND with NV V5
Joe,
I've written one that seems to work fine for nodes. Basically, what I
have is a process (perl script) that goes out and gets the next-hop
for every node in my database.
The next-hop for a node on a network should be the router-interface.
I then store this router-address, along with the original node in a
flat-file.
If the node goes down, I do the following:
1) Test the original node.
2) If the test fails, I get the next-hop address.
3) If the next-hop fails, I throw away the original interface-down
event (assuming the node is actually down; just unreachable).
4) If the next-hop responds, then I know the node is in-fact down.
Now, if the router interface goes down... step #3 will ensure that
I don't get node-down events.
If you have any questions... give me a call.
