Re: RouterDown vs NodeDown

["Leslie Clark" <lclark@us.ibm.com>]

Very interesting. The Router events are new events provided by
the Router Fault Isolator function. Apparently the RFI is not bound by
the definition of router as used by the rest of Netview. RFI keeps track
of whether there are any router interfaces up on a given subnet so it
can indicate whether a subnet is unreachable. If you think this is a
problem, you might want to call Support and talk it over with them.

Cordially,

Hi List,
            I have a NT 4.0 server with 2 interfaces. 1 interface has 2 ip
addresses that are UP, and the other interface is unmanaged. It went down
today and I received the following events.......

Thu Aug 30 10:02:26 2001 N Interface HP down.(ip address #1)
Thu Aug 30 10:02:26 2001 N Router marginal.
Thu Aug 30 10:02:38 2001 N Interface HP down.(ip address #2)
Thu Aug 30 10:02:38 2001 N Router Down. (trap #58916971, IBM_NVSNMP_EV)

Why did I get a RouterDown event when isIPRouter = FALSE and isRouter =
FALSE, instead of a NodeDown event?
