Re: Node Down/Interface Up/ Node UP Events

What kind of device are these? We have a problem with Cisco 1700 series 
routers with a certain level IOS that if the Fast Ethernet port is set to 
Admin Down the router continually sends if up/dn traps and netview 
generates a trap also.

Our solution, since these interfaces are not in use, was to set the keep 
alives to zero. This causes netview to show the interface as red on the 
map though. Cisco has released a patch for this but our process for 
implementing an IOS change is so lengthy it hasn't been updated yet.

Just something else you might want to check into.

During polling cycle I have two nodes that constantly have:
node down, interface up, node up events from Netmon. ATT has checked the 
circuit in one of those nodes and they see no problems. I checked the node 
when it was "up/green" using a quicktest and I got the same traps/events 
node down/interface up/node up. 
 
When i do a ping from the command line I get no packets lost. What is 
going on here?
