5884.0. "IP UNREACHABLE even though it is" by COMICS::MISTRY () Mon Feb 28 1994 05:28

Hi,


Regarding note 5839, IP reachibility alarms come back with a UNREACHABLE even
though the entity is up and running. Now there appears to be a workaround 
whereby you poll the entity within the alarm rule to see if it is reachable.

Having run a trace it appears that the MCC box is polling the entity 5 times 
when you receive a false unreachable and only twice when it is. However, the 
time difference between the polls is minute. The other thing to note is that
entities which are experiencing a problem are on the other side of 64K links
and not local.

So either MCC appears to throwing the messages away or UCX (V2.0D) isn't
passing the info up.

I have given the customer a workaround. But he would like to know if this is
going to be fixed.

	There was a patched version of the IP Poller which fixed  a similar
	problem. Are you running that or are you running what came with the
	V1.3.0 system ?

Rahul,

Not using the IP poller. Just simple IP reachablility alarms.
