5604.0. "several IP POLLER notifications" by MARS03::THOMAS () Mon Sep 20 1993 13:00

	I want to use the IP POLLER on DECMCC EMS V2.3.

	I use several hierarchical domains.

	I enabled IP poller in each domain where i have IP stations to poll. 

	Each time, i received several notification messages if an IP station was
no longer reachable or vice-versa. 

	Then, i created a new domain, where i put all the IP stations that i
have to monitor. But, i still receive several notification messages for each IP 
reachability event.

	Where is the mistake (in my set-up or ...) ?

	Regards,


	Bernard

	Did you try enabling polling only from the top-most domain? The IP Poller polls entities in subdomains automatically. Rahul.

	In the first test (I enabled IP POLLER in each domain...), i enabled the IP POLLER in several domains belonging to a same hierarchy. The second test (Then i created ...), in fact was done in an existing domain in my hierarchy (not a new one as i said before). In this existing domain, i enabled the IP poller and i got several notifications for each IP reachability event. Regards, Bernard

	I will try to reproduce the behaviour on my system. I am busy with some other things at the moment, so I hope you will bear with me. Rahul.

5604.5	Seeing the same problem...Any solution?	SALUD::ORTIZ	`Wed Jun 01 1994 16:51`	8
	I have a site with the same problem with the IP Poller sending multiple notifications for the each ip node in the domain... Was there a solution to this problem or not?? Any help would be appreciated... Richard

	It's been quite a while, so I don't remember how the problem was resolved. But one possible reason that comes to my mind for multiple notifications is that the user might have alarms enabled for reachability events. Since reachability events are notification events, they automatically show up as notifications. Having alarms on the same events would cause multiple notifications to show up. Let me know if this is the case. You may also try sending mail to Bernard (MARS03::THOMAS) and ask him how this problem was resolved (if at all). Rahul.
5604.7	No Alarms for IP REACHABILITY	SALUD::ORTIZ	`Thu Jun 02 1994 11:01`	9
	The customer is not using any alarms on IP REACHABILITY. I was able to talk to Bernard Thomas and he stated that the problem has NOT been fixed. He was able to minimize the amount of notifications to 3 by having the ip node only in the top domain. It looks to me like this is a bug. I am wanting a better workaround , if possible... Richard
