Re: [NV-L] NetView 7.1.5 - How Does NetView Select an Address for Field "SNMP ipAddress"

[ss cc <steph_cornish@yahoo.com>]

All,

If NV_NETMON_LOCK_LOOPBACK_SNMPADDR is set to true in netmon.conf, will that force NetView to use the loopback address for SNMP ipAddress?

 

What will happen when netmon does status polling and gets no response from the Loopback interface?

I think there is also an option in netmon.conf to take the device loopback
ip by default

Unless you force a particular address using the seed file, netmon will try
all the IP addresses on the machine in turn until one responds. It marks
that one the SNMP ipAddress and will try that one again the next time,
ignoring the others, unless that one does not respond.  Then it will go
searching for one that does again.

All,

I'd like to know how NetView selects an IP address for field "SNMP
ipAddress" for a
device with multiple NICs.


Once it assigns an address to that field, will it ever switch to a
different address?
TIA,

Stephanie
