Re: [nv-l] Different Link Address Messages

The choices for 'Ring-bit storage swapping flag' are none, ignore, and report. Set it to ignore.

Hi  Group members,

We are running the UNIX version of NetView 7.1.3 with FixLevels
NVS(C)7130 and get a lot of Traps of the type "Host A reported different
Link Address than obtained from Host B by SNMP" (Host A and Host B are
Cisco Switches/Routers).
According to the solution described in the nv-l mail from Mr. Oliver
Bruchhauser on 2 April 2003, we changed the Netmon setting to "Ignore
source route bit in physical address" to "yes". But unfortunately, this
did not solve our problem. We are still flooded with "Different Link
Address" Traps.
Is there anything we can do in addtion to it ?

Thank you very much for any help.

Cordially,

Georg Gangl
