1003176714 3  Mon Oct 15 15:11:54 2001 pbsxd200009stby.pepsi.com N Interface

css0 down.

===> Unpingable interface - first status poll fails this interface

1003176714 7  Mon Oct 15 15:11:54 2001 pbsxd200009stby.pepsi.com N Node 
marginal.

===> Box is now marginal because one or more of its interfaces are down.

1003176714 3  Mon Oct 15 15:11:54 2001 pbsxd200009stby.pepsi.com N Interface

en0 down.

===> Status poll fails to this interface as well - probably non pingable

1003177212 7  Mon Oct 15 15:20:12 2001 pbsxd200009stby.pepsi.com n Demand 
polling on node pbsxd200009stby.pepsi.com.

===> User initiates demand poll

1003177227 4  Mon Oct 15 15:20:27 2001 pbsxd200009stby.pepsi.com N Interface

Descriptor for en3 changed to "en3; Product: PCI Ethernet Adapter (23100020)

  Manufacturer: not available! Part Number: 091H0397 FRU Number: 091H0397 ".

===> Demand poll finds the en3 interface (snmp get of interface table I
assume)

1003177227 4  Mon Oct 15 15:20:27 2001 pbsxd200009stby.pepsi.com N Interface

Descriptor for en1 changed to "en1; Product: PCI Ethernet Adapter (23100020)


===> Demand poll finds en1 inteface information (snmp get of interface
table)

1003177227 4  Mon Oct 15 15:20:27 2001 pbsxd200009stby.pepsi.com N Interface

Descriptor for en0 changed to "en0; Product: PCI Ethernet Adapter (23100020)

  Manufacturer: not available! Part Number: not available! FRU Number: not 
available! ".

===> again en0 information obtained via the demand poll.

I don't see anything wrong here? The only issue may be that the node will be
degraded unless you unmanage the non-pingable interfaces OR you must use "$"
in the seed file for this box so he uses SNMP status polls. I assume at
least some of these interfaces are non-pingable.
