James Shanks--
I should be more explicit. NIC is a network interface card, and it is in
a SUN server, and the NIC card has 4 interfaces, each interface connects to
a separate LAN segment, mostly just for high availabality. If one segment
goes
down, the server can still be reached via three different addresses, across
three
different segments/nic interfaces. I only want to generate a node down to
TEK
from Netview if I detect that all four ip addresses are down.
thanks

Jim -
You can generate any trap you like using snmptrap, and you can use a ruleset
to
kick off snmptrap using an Action node. It is the rest of your note which
confuses me .
What's a NIC? Does netmon poll it now? Because there is no way you can
stop
netmon from sending a Node down or Interface down, if it is down, unless
you
unmanage it. What trap are you thinking will drive this ruleset?

Subject: [NV-L] Ruleset Approach for Quad NIC
I only want to generate a node down if NIC1 AND NIC2 AND NIC3 AND NIC4 are
all
down. Can someone tell me if this do-able with a ruleset ? Each NIC
interface will have
a different ip address.
thanks
