Hi Scott,
you are right, NetView sends more than one ping depending on the number
of retries.
The retry count is 3. But the problem is that NetView sends with each
ping only
one time 64 Bytes and these 64 Bytes are swallowed up by the firewall.
When I do
the ping as a UNIX command with unlimited sending of 64 Bytes I can see
that the first
64 Bytes (icmp_seq=0) are swallowed up and the others are good.

Betreff: RE: [NV-L] Status polling
Netview when using pings for status polls will send more than one ping
based
on the XNMPSNMPCONF retries field I believe. If you look at the SNMP
config
for that device the retries should be greater than 1 and therefore
should
send more than one ping (assuming the first one fails).

Subject: [NV-L] Status polling
Hello,
We have NetView Version 6.0.1 and AIX 4.3.2.
The Question:
As I know NetView sends for status polling a ping with one
frame. In my case NetView has to send a ping to a device
after a firewall. The firewall swallows up the first ping-frame.
So if NetView sends only one frame this is allways swallowd up
and the device appears as NODE DOWN.
How can I tell NetView to send more than one frame?
Thanks in advance and with best regards
