Re: [nv-l] linkDown Trap with locIfReason Up

["Alan E. Hennis" <Hennis_Alan_E@cat.com>]

In this case it is probably a bug in the Cisco code. NetView can only
display what it sees in the trap. I run a primarily Cisco shop and see this
often.

I am receiving some strange events on my NetView and wondered if anyone
else is seeing the same.

I am running NetView V7.1.3 on AIX 5.1.

NetView receives the following event went an interface goes down:

Sat Feb 21 20:39:00 2004 hostname  A Cisco Agent Interface Down (linkDown
Trap) on interface: FastEthernet0/24 locIfReason: down

My NetView pages on this event - on the linkDown Trap.

The strange event is this one:

Sat Feb 21 20:39:00 2004 hostname   A Cisco Agent Interface Down (linkDown
Trap) on interface: FastEthernet0/24 locIfReason: up

You will notice in the above event, the locIfReason says up.  NetView pages
because it is a linkDown Trap.  But, the locIfReason shows up.  So, is this
the interface coming up, but the Trap is a linkDown trap?  And when we
receive this event (and page) we check the interface and it is actually up.

Can anyone shed any light on this?
