Re: [NV-L] NetView 7.1.4 - User1 Interpretation

[Bill Evans <wvevans@epix.net>]

I can think of at least one possible reason.  One NIC, multiple addresses, SNMP enabled. 

User1 status does NOT come from Ping status, only from SNMP status.  Ping cannot see the whole situation for a device and SNMP can.  If multiple addresses have been defined for a NIC and one or more of them is set to Admin Down you will see Pink when polled by SNMP.

If, on the other hand, you do not enable SNMP for a device then NetView will never know about the other interfaces. Ping will tell you the status of the DEVICE while SNMP will tell you the state of the INTERFACES with the device state set to the aggregate according to the status roll-up rules.

All,

Can someone remind me how NetView decides to use status color User1 (Pink) on device symbols/icons and interface symbols/icons?  I know on Cisco equipment an Admin Down interface will have status color User1 (Pink). 

 

We have some Nortel devices with an IP Status of User1 (Pink) and are pingable.  They only have one NIC.

 

We're running NetView 7.1.4 (fp3) on Solaris 2.8.

 

TIA,

Stephanie
