I need clarification on a couple of
things:
1) when you use > is it only for the
failover address or do I enter it for both primary and secondary ip addresss..
FirewallP - 10.30.3.18
FirewallS- 10.30.3.19
I enter on the seed file..
>10.30.3.18
>10.30.3.19
2) since I already have the devices
discovered, do a demandpoll to "lock" the primary or secondary
status? how does it know which one is primary or secondary?
thanks

It doesn't get added to trapd.conf or the event
command until 7.1.5. Until you migrate you can use this.
IBM_PIXFAIL_EV {1.3.6.1.4.1.2.6.3} 6 58916987 N 5 0 "Status Events"
$3
EVENT_CLASS TEC_ITS_PIXFAIL_STATUS

nvhostname $NV_IPADDR
msg $V3
pix_state $V8
END_SLOT_MAPPING
SDESC
This event is generated by NetView when
it detects that a PIX Firewall failover state has changed.
The data passed with the event are:
1) ID of application sending the event
2) Host name or IP address
3) Formatted description of the event
(either the PRIMARY or SECONDARY node is now ACTIVE)
4) Host name or IP address
5) Database name
6) Selection Name
7) (not used)
8) state (FAILOVER or RECOVERED)

Thank you.. what is the trap that is sent?.. the doc states
"send the event "PIX Firewall failover state change".. I looked
under the event configuration and can not find it in nv6000 events. I can use
this event to generate an email or popup
thanks
again…

Actually. netmon will monitor that failover for you and generate a special event
when it occurs. See the Fixpack 4 release notes:
PIX Firewall Failover support
IBM
Tivoli NetView provides support for monitoring the Cisco PIX Firewall Failover
conditions. NetView can monitor the failover state of the PIX devices during
normal status polling. When a failover occurs, a new event is generated
announcing whether the active addresses are on the primary or secondary device.
In addition, the operator can see on the map when the active addresses are on
the secondary device, which indicates that a failover has occurred and action
should be taken to prevent a further failure that disables the firewalls. The
management interface shows USER2 status, which is usually purple (by default).
This propagates to change the PIX device symbol to marginal. When the active
addresses are returned to the primary device, an event announces this fact and
the status on the map returns to Normal.
Use the
netmon.seed file to configure both the PIX Firewall Failover machines and to
set and lock the SNMP address.
For more information on the PIX Firewall Failover
support see the /usr/OV/doc/PixFailoverReadme.pdf file.

[NV-L] cisco pix firewall
|
|
Hello,
Running Netview 7.1.4 FP 4, AIX 5.2.. Cisco PIX 535 version 6.3
I've been tasked with creating an alert when the PIX fails over
(from primary to secondary / and vice versa). I currently have a separate
window when certain devices go down, and I also have pop-up windows when a link
down trap is received from a critical devices..
If I remember right, there is a trap that is sent when a PIX fails
over? If I can determine the right trap then I can use that to generate a popup
or email message. Is there any special configuration to netmon.seed?
Has anyone successfully monitored a failover?
Thanks
Catalina
