What is happening is that the ping is timing out before it returns. You
might try increasing the timeout, this may however, not alleviate the
problem.
My biggest suggestion would be to upgrade NetView. You are currently
5 revisions behind the newest code and 4 versions behind stable code.
You are running version 6 which is no longer supported, a call to
support at this point is not going to help much. I think the problems
that you may be seeing are fixed in the newer versions of NetView.

Hello Everyone,
We are monitoring few critical servers (W2K/Unix) throgh
NetView(6.0.2/AIX4.3.3). We have discovered them by putting into
seed file.
We do snmp poll to these servers at 10m interval with 5 second
imeout and 3 retries parameters.
Sometimes, we get follwing down event in trapd.log ;-
1067224466 3 Mon Oct 27 08:44:26 2003 SRSRO_COMPAQ2 N
Interface net1 down.
1067224466 3 Mon Oct 27 08:44:26 2003 SRSRO_COMPAQ2 N
Node Down.
Here SRSRO_COMPAQ2 is name of the W2K server.
But, administrators of these servers confirm that these servers
were never down. Even in system/application logs of these servers,
no event is logged showing it down or network issue.
Any suggestion on this false events in trapd.log please?
Regards,
Anupam Kr. Anand
