Hello, all!

These may not be NetView problems, but perhaps someone can throw some
light on the matter.

Note:  I am not running Optivity or CiscoWorks and never have.

1)  I have a couple of Nortel ARN routers running OS version 12.02 that
have their ifAdminStatus set incorrectly.  The router is up, accessible
(ping, telnet, ftp, etc.) and passing traffic, but the ifAdminStatus for
the serial/sync interface shows administratively down (AD) and thus not
monitored by Netview.

interfaces.ifTable.ifEntry.ifDescr.1 : DISPLAY STRING- (ascii):  NR-S11
interfaces.ifTable.ifEntry.ifDescr.2 : DISPLAY STRING- (ascii):  NR-E11
interfaces.ifTable.ifEntry.ifAdminStatus.1 : INTEGER: down
interfaces.ifTable.ifEntry.ifAdminStatus.2 : INTEGER: up

If I do an ovobjprint on this object, the serial/sync shows AD.  But,
strange thing about this is the interface layer symbol in Netview for this
interface is green/normal and pingable and not showing AD. And, properties
at the interface layer shows status normal.

I have tried ovtopofix -A, but it does not help.

2) I have some Cisco 3548 switches and their SNMPAgent variable is showing
Unset.

Has anyone seen these before?  Is there a fix for these?

Thanks in advance.
