Mahesh,
   We don't have nortel routers, but your ifOperStatus is probably up.  Your 
router guru can most likely set the status of the interfaces to what it should 
be.   When I get SNMPAgent Unset, I take it to mean that the device does not 
have SNMP or that NetView can't access it.
Since the CISCO 3548 switches most likely have SNMP agents, I would check and 
make sure the correct community strings are entered into NetView.   

Regards,
Mel

  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.
