RE: [WhatsUp Forum] Establishing a threshold for dropped packets

Hello Alex,   Have you tried playing with the Device States?   Configure -> Program Options -> Device States   Change the Lost 1 Packet to a Square, etc.   The above will give the perception that everything is OK even if it misses a ping.    If you do the above, you might also want to play with the “Trigger” in the Alert option of the icons you are experiencing this problem with.    Michael Patterson Check out Logalot for WhatsUp Gold http://www.whatsupgold.net   LIVE DEMO L: whatsup P: whatsup http://www.somix.com/products/logalot.php         -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Obaitan, Alexander A. Sent: Thursday, May 27, 2004 11:19 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [WhatsUp Forum] Establishing a threshold for dropped packets   I'm using What's Up ver. 8 to monitor an Alcatel switch via ICMP. This switch has a faulty management module and this problem is manifest itself by generating false "down" alerts in What's Up (even though I can ping the switch from my desktop with no problem) Is there a way to force What's Up to only generate an alert when a certain number of packets have been dropped?   Thank you,   Alex Obaitan Enterprise Network Administrator Information Services Direct Dial 215.665.2142 Direct Fax 215.701.2342   ****************************************** Notice: This communication, including attachments, may contain information that is confidential and protected by the attorney/client or other privileges.
