RE: Interfaces not being unmanaged when the node is unmanaged

[Uwe.Richter@synthesis.de]

This is a multipart message in MIME format.

We have a similar problem after update from NetView 6.0 to NetView 6.0.1 
on AIX 4.3.3. The differenz in configuration is: Now we use the 
RFI-Feature.
If I set several Interfaces from Router to unmanaged, then I get the 
following result:

1. Event Interface SerX/X unmanaged
2. The IP Status in DB is unmanaged
3.  After short time (Polling Intervall ?) I get event Interface SerX/X 
down.
4. The IP Status in DB is Critical.


Thanks for any help

Uwe

I am seeing this behavior on my NetView server as well so I would be 
interested in any workarounds or configuration tips.   I am running v. 
6.0.1 on Solaris 2.7.

Hi Netviewers, 
This is more a nuisance than a problem. We've found that when a PC is 
discovered immediately unmanaged except the interface remains managed.
Our Global Default is to NOT Discover Node(s) Managed. 
Here's an example from trapd.log: 
977116499  7  Mon Dec 18 16:14:59 2000 AA039207                  N Node 
Added.

977116499  3  Mon Dec 18 16:14:59 2000 AA039207                  N Node

977116499  7  Mon Dec 18 16:14:59 2000 AA039207                  N Node

977116499  7  Mon Dec 18 16:14:59 2000 AA039207                  N Node 
unmanaged.

Interface Intel down. 
Our PC's are a mix of NT and Win2000 some support SNMP some don't. This 
affects both NV 5.1.1 and 6.0.1 on Solaris 2.6. 
The impact is the maps are always yellow and once you drill down your 
looking not for a red icon but a red link from the icon to the network.
Is there some setting that we've missed or changed that's causing this 
problem. 
Thanks
