Re: [nv-l] Object Turn Red after Ping

[Mark Sklenarik <marksk@us.ibm.com>]

Hi Larry,
What you are describing sound like a
something we have experienced with fault snmp agent,  SNMPv3 agents
or Red Hat 3.0  snmp agents.
This may occur when NetView is configured
to perform status checking using SNMP, but the snmp agent is not responding
even thought you can ping the NIC.  Also, check to make sure you can
snmpwalk both the "ip" and "interface" MIB tables on
the agent.  
NetView 7.1.3 FP3 works best went communicating
with a SNMPv1 agent.  
In the case of Red Hat 3.0 we found
that the agent (net-snmp) had a problem with indexing between the "interface"
and "ip" index and address tables. We found that we had to update
Red Hat 3.0 net-snmp code to "net-snmp-5.0.9-2-30E.6"
to resolve problem.

Subject	[nv-l] Object Turn Red after Ping

Hi,
We have Netview 7.1.3 FP3 on AIX 5.1. There is some strange
behavior on some of the deivces on the Map. There are showing up as red
on map. When i ping them, they come back up as green and status is up and
right after some time they go red again. But there is no problem of events
coming in from those devices. I'm cluless in here. Could some out there
help me please.
Many Thanks,
Larry.
