What he means is if you monitor the link between switch A to Switch B or do you monitor an application/host that can be gotten to from either of your redundant links.
That is were the problem of monitoring a host or application with redundant links, it is only down when both links are down. Which is true. What you are probably going to need to monitor is the SNMP info of the switches to find when a link is not working because a simple ping of a host (depending on how the redundancy is setup) will still make its way to the final destination with redundant links.

With dependencies, I'd want the 4006's to be dependent on the 6500's being UP. But as the 4006's are split between (2) 6500's, as it is now you have to select (1) or the other. Maybe this could be an option for ver 4... :) At 05:06 PM 7/15/02 -0400, you wrote: >are you monitoring the links or are you monitoring a host on the other end >of those two links. > >> -----Original Message----- >> From: gene Martinez [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] >> Sent: Monday, July 15, 2002 4:35 PM >> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >> Subject: [SA-list] Dependencies >> >> >> I have another question about dependencise.. >> >> At work we are going to make the whole network redundant.
