Re: [nv-l] Interface delete

[Leslie Clark <lclark@us.ibm.com>]

Well, I've never seen that particular
message. But the deletion of objects behaves this way:
Nodes are controlled by the 'Node down
delete interval' set in 'Options.. SNMP configuration'.
That defaults to one week. I think most
people prefer to delete things manually, though.
As for interfaces, they are either deleted
during a configuration poll (or demandpoll) or they are not.
They are not deleted in the case where
the entry for theSNMP sysObjectID for that device in the
oid_to_type file contains the S flag.
This is so for many types of Cisco devices. In that case, you are 
expected to delete it manually, or remove
the flag.

Subject	[nv-l] Interface delete

Hi. 

When does Netview (7.14 FP01 on Linux) discover that an interface has been
deleted ? 

If I delete a loopback interface on a cisco router and performs a demand
poll on Netview, the following happens ! 
- the interface goes red and poll results says "Interface 10.179.101.24(Loopback1)
is DOWN Communication prohibited by filtering"
