Hi forumers,
Configuration
Netview 5.1.3 + fixes,
Tru64 (Digital) UNIX 4.0f
Network implementation (FDDI, single and dual Ethernet - redundant
transceivers) based on DEC900 family (concentrators, repeaters,
VnSwitches...)
When one of the redunded element is down, it has an impact on all of the
network elements (i.e. many interface down, then up traps generated by
netmon), including nodes that have no link with the failed element. After
analysis, failure of one element induce an unstability in the network, with
automatic reconfiguration which needs several seconds to recover (FDDI and
Ethernet redundancy, dynamic routing, ...). During this reconfiguration
phase, netmon fails pinging some interfaces, which seems reasonnable.
In order to coope with this unstability period, I've tried to configured
timeout and retries values for this polling (wildcard values in xsnmpconf),
but these values are automatically decreased by netmon down to 1 second and
no retries, which does not coope with the tolerance that was expected!!!
Is there any way to prevent netmon from adjusting dynamically these values?
If using SNMP polling, will netmon also adjust its internal timeouts?
Thanks for any help
