Jason,
I guess the problem is both.
First is that, i have SNMP traps(link up/downs) to be
sent to Netview is enabled on the device. But i'm not
getting any traps.
Second,
As i guess, we have this device in netview and we are
using ping to check the interface up/down i believe.
But we are getting any interface down when this device
is switched off. This is not defined in SNMP config or
in seed file. Does this means netview uses ping to
check up/down's? Pardon my little knowledge in here.
Many thanks,
Larry
