What can also cause this is simply network latency that is longer than your
timeout values (within xnmnsmpconf) for that node. NetView pings the
device and waits the timeout/retry settings. No ping response in that
time, so it marks the interface down. Then finally a response does return
from the previous pings. Netmon sees that ping response and changes the
status back to up. You should be able to adjust the wait time and/or
retries and this should go away.
