Re: [nv-l] Propagating Node status on TRAPS

[usman.taokeer@s-iii.com]

Hi Leslie,

I found this in the "netmon.conf"
file 

# Set to TRUE to ignore Link Up/Link
Down traps
NV_NETMON_IGNORE_LINK_UPDN=FALSE

The second line was remarked i removed
the remark, did start/stop netmon , but yet i dont see the change on IP
MAP for the specific interface!

Check in /usr/ov/conf/netmon.conf. On Unix, there is an option in there
that controls whether or not Netview will respond to generic traps by immediately
checking the current status. Perhaps that's where it is controlled on Windows
as well. 

And no, no mibs are required for this.

Just to add to it, do we need to load any specific MIBs to get that functionality?

Hi List, 

NV 7.1.4 FP04 
Windows 2003 SP1 

We have a Cisco router configured to forward traps to Netview server whenever
the Serial Link goes down! . The Netview is receiving traps successfully
but on the IP MAP the Interface status  does not reflect the TRAP
i.e When a 'link down' trap is received on Netview the Interface status
stays 'GREEN'. It is only updated on the scheduled SNMP Poll. What else
needs to be done on the Netview part to make it reflect the change on the
'IP MAP' level!
