Ray, I take it that the question is why Netview is not drawing an object
for that
Serial0/0 and monitoring it, and is only drawing objects for the
subinterfaces.
Normally it would figure out that there is unnumbered serial involved and
switch the node to snmp polling and draw objects for the unnumbered
interfaces.
Failure to do this is usually this is due to the configuration of the
device. If there
are no routes that reference that particular base interface, and nothing in
anybody's
CDP calls it out, then it will not be drawn. OR... if there is more than a
one-to-one
relationship between that node and the others, it will not be drawn, or
will not be
drawn properly. Usually this is a blessing. In your case I can see where
you would
like it to be monitored.
How about monitoring it separately with data collection? It is in the
interface
table, right? You can at least get an event on it - well, you are getting
an event
in the form of a trap from the device. With some work you could use APM
to add an icon that represents that base interface, and MLM would set its
status with the threshold/rearm events. That may be more work than you
are interested in. I would plan on working with the traps in some way,
though.
Cordially,

Subject: [NV-L] Unnumbered IP on a serial interface
Hello Everyone,
We had an incident on our network last night where a serial interface went
down because the frame relay circuit DLCI was deleted. Here's the text:
May 31 03:41:32 CDT: %LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface
Serial0/0, changed state to down
May 31 03:41:34 CDT: %LINK-3-UPDOWN: Interface Serial0/0, changed state to
down
May 31 03:41:34 CDT: %FR-5-DLCICHANGE: Interface Serial0/0 - DLCI 500 state
changed to DELETED
May 31 03:41:34 CDT: %LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface
Serial0/0.1, changed state to down
May 31 03:56:54 CDT: %LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface
Serial0/0, changed state to up
May 31 03:56:55 CDT: %LINK-3-UPDOWN: Interface Serial0/0, changed state to
up
May 31 03:56:55 CDT: %FR-5-DLCICHANGE: Interface Serial0/0 - DLCI 500 state
changed to ACTIVE
May 31 03:56:55 CDT: %LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface
Serial0/0.1, changed state to up
So NetView was able to ping the associated IP address because it also
exists
on the FastEthernet interface. The event viewer did show corresponding
Cisco_Link_Down and Cisco_Link_Up traps. So here are my questions:
1) Do I have to setup SNMP polling in the seed file for NetView to use SNMP
to query the interface?
2) How does NetView know this is an unnumbered interface?
3) I can create a ruleset to create a critical event to be forwarded to
Tivoli. Can I use the set state node in a ruleset to change the color of
the
router object to red (Critical)?
