Hi,
I'm using NV 6.0.1 on Solaris 7.
I've got this "problem" which I haven't decided whether to raise a new PMR.
We have a lot of SNMP managed Cisco routers. From time to time, an
interface may be operationally down when a subnet has been decommissioned,
but the Admin status of the router is still up.
To stop NV creating alerts, I have unmanaged the interface.
I've noticed just recently that the unmanaged "status" (I'm using that word
here) is kept in the map, but at what I assume is the next status check
cycle, the status in the object and topology DBs are changed by NV to
Critical/Down. Of course traps are then issued and events start showing up.
I think this is a bug. I didn't see this as a fix in 6.0.2, but maybe I
missed something (James?).
Here's the one in question:

Searching through NV-L I have found a couple of similar instances and
comments.
In one James Shanks says:
"And "unmanaged" is not a status (normal, marginal, critical) but a kind of
state which tells ipmap to ignore anything
else about this node, segment, interface, and so on."
I'm confused. If unmanaged is not a status, and it's only ipmap that uses
it, why does the notes on netmon say that it won't poll unmanaged devices?
Also, why does the topology and object databases (in other devices) have
"Unmanaged" as a status.
A "good" Example ...
