  • 1.  SNMP collector-Interface rediscovery

    Posted Jan 04, 2019 12:25 AM

    Hi All,

     

    Could someone help me with the below queries.

     

    1)During the rediscovery, will all the new interfaces get discovered automatically based on the interface filters?

     

    2) If i want to remove all the interfaces which are currently down from monitoring, and do a fresh discovery(with all the interfaces which are currently up)  how can I achieve  that?

     

    I also need alerts when the interfaces goes down

     

    3)What is the difference between interface admin status and operational status.

     

    Regards,

    Usha

    What do you mean "Interface filter" ? Is it filter in monitoring template ?

    For the question 3

    ifAdminStatus - The device polling status
    ifOperStatus - The interface status

    For question 2, snmptd probe helps you to manage link-down situation via trap management.

    I think this approach is more reasonable when you want to monitor interface down situation.

    #3 - ifAdminStatus OBJECT-TYPE SYNTAX INTEGER { up(1), down(2), testing(3) } ACCESS read-write STATUS mandatory DESCRIPTION "The desired state of the interface. The testing(3) state indicates that no operational packets can be passed."

     

    ifOperStatus OBJECT-TYPE SYNTAX INTEGER { up(1), down(2), testing(3) } ACCESS read-only STATUS mandatory DESCRIPTION "The current operational state of the interface. The testing(3) state indicates that no operational packets can be passed."
