Lower you NMS sensitivity. Only have it alert after n failures in n time. I do this with nagios. It has an algorithm which causes it to change the level of checking dynamically based on if their is a failure or not.

There could be several reasons for a packet drop on particualr in some

coz of high cpu utilization incase of a system process. There is no
general rule for troubleshooting that's why placing the NMS is very
critical with in the enterprise network.

For a start if you have snmp enabled devices than start polling the
switch/router ports for traffic (mrtg) and CPU.

It will definately help to drill down the problem.

Network Management Gurus,

I have an Enterprise network and my NMS is showing interfaces on some
devices as down and that is because it keeps checking their availability
with snmp/ping and if one response is missed then it considers the interface
as down and needs to acknowledge/clearing the alarm in order to remove it.

I would like to know why that response is missed so we can fix it. Is there
a tool that can give me a detailed report that  can help me troubleshoot
this?

Regards,
Sam
