... or take Dan's suggestion and have a little script using snmputil reset the relevant counter. If you want to retain the error status until after someone has looked at it, have a little script ask for the router name and/or IP address and reset the status via snmputil manually on demand.
The question is, what counter to monitor for a treshold. This depends upon what sort of link you are using (Frame, ATM, T1, etc.). If I remember correct, there is a counter for interface transitions. This is what we used to monitor with AT&T circuits. Some of them were going up and down and up and ... quite frequently without triggering alarms. Hope this helps.

I use CW2K Device Fault Manager to receive alerts/notifications from all Cisco devices and WUG for a simple up/down notification. You could simply make the routers send SNMP traps and syslog messages to your WUG server, then configure WUG to notify you as appropriate for each threshold or alarm. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Thanks, Steve Busby Information Technology Services University of Nebraska Medical Center 985030 Nebraska Medical Center [EMAIL PROTECTED] 402.559.9621 If Linux doesn't have the solution, you have the wrong problem. ***************University of Nebraska Medical Center E-mail Confidentiality Disclaimer *************** The information in this e-mail is privileged and confidential, intended only for the use of the addressee(s) above.

We have over 100 routers, if one goes down the alarm goes off, no problem. If one gets errors on its port (from AT&T) but doesn't actually go down, the different counters increment on the router but traffic isn't affected enough to stop a ping. This means the router stays "up" to WhatsUp Gold, but the location starts slowing down and the more sensitive applications drop connections. Is there any way in WhatsUp or any other application to sound an alarm or something when a router sees interfaces errors like this? Thanks, Jeff B Jeffery S.
