Thanks for the response, Juergen. I believe it will be critical to get SNMP polling of the management interface working. I still need to determine the model we are using. I guess the scenario I am most worried about is the fail-close scenario. How do I connect the device in the site model to let Spectrum know that it is the faulted device causing all the other devices to be unreachable. In the eyes of the switch and firewall it separates, it's not even there.
