RE: [NV-L] Bringing Device under monitoring without ICMP/SNMP

[Leslie Clark <lclark@us.ibm.com>]

The Unmanage of the interface only tells
netmon not to poll it for IP status. The interface card will not contribute
to the status of the node object at the IP Internet level of the map or
submap.

If the device is sending SNMP traps
to the Netview server, those will still be received. I assume that is what
you mean.

Subject	RE: [NV-L] Bringing Device under monitoring without ICMP/SNMP

Thanks for your help! I have
loaded the device, unmanged the interface and added into servmon.conf for
monitor particular port status.
 
I have a small query here.
After un-managing a device or interface, can we expected events from that
device?
 
Please help!
 
Thanks
Senny

Yes, well, I always say, if you want to manage something, it has to be
managaBLE. 

But yes, there is the service manager function that can discover and test
ports. You will have to add the node to the map in the first place, manually,
with an ip address. You will have to unmanage the IP interface card. Then
monitor its status by the status of the port check.  Read about it
in the admin guide.

Subject	[NV-L] Bringing Device under monitoring without ICMP/SNMP

 

Hi Team, 
  
I am planning to bring a device under monitoring purview of Netview 7.1.5.
The challenge here is (may be just for me), I don’t have either ICMP and
SNMP Access to the subject device, but I still have access to some of its
critical port. 
  
How can I bring this device under monitoring with just port access?
  
Expert advise is anticipated.
  
Thanks 
Senny
