RE: [nv-l] Maximum number of interfaces per router

["Davis, Donald" <donald.davis@firstcitizens.com>]

Actually, there is a limit without applying a couple of e-fixes on AIX...

I had problems with NetView managing a router with 830 interfaces.

NetView: 7.1.3

AIX: 5.1-03

 

One e-fix addresses a NetView database hang while discovering all the interfaces.

The second addresses all system memory being eaten up when you try to Manage/Unmanage a router with 830 interfaces.

Subject: [nv-l] Maximum number of interfaces per router

Hi List,

I am trying to determine the maximum number of interfaces per a router that Netview can discover and manage. I found an article on the IBM support site that states that Netview on NT and 2000 support a maximum of 256 interfaces per router.

Is this the same for Unix/Linux ? I have a customer that wants to install NetView 7.1.4 on Redhat Advanced Server 2.1 and will be managing a Cisco 7200 series router with 400 interfaces. Has anyone run into problems managing routers with large number of interfaces ?

Thank You

Pritesh
