I'm trying to solve a problem monitoring the growing number of Metro-E circuits we have. The problem with monitoring is that we connect our router interfaces to third party media converters. When there is a cut, our interfaces continue to report up/up and we never get "link down" alerts. Because we have redundant paths to many locations, traffic switches to protect and we never get alerted that our primary path is down or receive any device outages from that network.
If our engineers could devise a way to only advertise certain routes over the Metro-Es, then we would monitor an interface or device across the links. I have been unsuccessful going that route ;) Is there a way to use InterMapper to monitor if traffic stops for a link, or if OSPF neighbors and adjacencies are lost? I have seen requests for high utilization/threshold indicators. I'm looking for the opposite - a NO UTILIZATION indicator. Surely there is a simple monitoring solution that does not require custom network routing or monitoring of third party networks. Any advice or suggestions are greatly appreciated. -stanton -------------------- m2f -------------------- Read this topic online here: http://forums.intermapper.com/viewtopic.php?p=4284#4284 ____________________________________________________________________ List archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/intermapper-talk%40list.dartware.com/ To unsubscribe: send email to: intermapper-talk-...@list.dartware.com
