Re: [nv-l] Interface delete

[James Shanks <jshanks@us.ibm.com>]

demandpoll is a user function activated
by the user from the GUI under the Test menu or from the command line using
the command nmdemandpoll.
netmon does a similar function in its
configuration poll.   You control how often it does that using xnmsnmpconf,
(or Options --> SNMP Configuration), the same way you control how often
the device is pinged or polled for status.  The default configuration
poll interval for netmon is once a day.   That's  why demandpoll
is useful.

Hi again, 

How often does demandpoll runs on objects in Netviews database ?

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. 

Cordially,

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"
