Note to make sure that "Discover New Nodes" is turned on in NetView. This
is needed so that NetView gets the routing tables, which is required for NV
to get in order to distinguish between normal IP interfaces and HSRP IP
addresses.
If using a seed file, you will need to make sure there is a "stopper
address" at the end of the seed file when "Discover New Nodes" is on. Also,
make sure the nodes host name is not mapped to the same name for the HSRP
address. If this name for HSRP address is not different than the name for
the physical node, NV will not discover.

Subject: Re: Cisco HSRP
Here's a re-post of one I sent a couple of weeks ago, excerpted
from the handouts from a product update I attended in late '97:
"
- HSRP IP addresses are reported only in the ARP table and not in
the IP address table. This causes the IP discovery problem.
- netmon identifies an HSRP IP address when it polls the HSRP IP address
but the IP address is not in the HSRP node's IP address table.
- If it is an HSRP IP address, netmon tries to find a node which
has the same IP addresses as in the IP address table and the
same sysDescr.
- (If netmon cannot find a match, netmon discards this IP
address. The HSRP IP address will reappear in the next
discovery period.)
- When a matching node is located, an HSRP interface is created
for that node.
- netmon polls sysName to decide if a HSRP IP address has been taken over.
(Different routers should have different sysNames.)
- (polling takes place at "status check" intervals - eg 5 minutes)
- If an HSRP IP address is taken over by another router, netmon will
delete the HSRP interface from the old router and move it to the
new HSRP router.
- Events IBM_NVHSRPDEL and IBM_NVHSRPADD are generated.
- SInce HSRP is not reported by SNMP agents, demandpoll will not
help solve the problems of HSRP.
- WHen experiencing an HSRP problem, the easy way to fix it is to
delete the HSRP interface and ping the HSPR IP address to
lent netmon rediscover it.

Hi,
Can anyone tell me if Netview 5.1 supports Cisco's Hot Standby Routing
(HSRP) Protocol ?
