That's a surprise! Is that a per-model parameter? If not, what about Pingable Devices?

There?s an option in discovery to not ping before trying SNMP poll ? works OK. We have this policy on a couple of high-security customers and around some of our own environment. With regards to devices already discovered, SNMP polling is always first anyway, so normal operation shouldn?t be affected. The only thing is on a ?CONTACT LOST TO DEVICE? alarm, the ?are you there yet?? pings every 60 seconds or so obviously won?t work, so it could be up to one or two poll cycles before the alarm clears.

Hi all, rumour has it our security policy leads to all our servers being prevented from answering ICMP echo requests soon. As it so happens, we as network management specialists have never been asked about implications of such a decision. ;-) Hopefully it stays a rumour, but you never know - so I'd like to be prepared. Easy question, although I assume I know the answer: Has anybody ever tried to come up with a (simple) solution to obsolete ICMP in regards to SPECTRUM management? I am not talking about SPM tests to those servers as a replacement, it is mandatory to continue using SNMPv3 for RFC2790 stuff et cetera.
