DESCRIPTION
"The value of this MIB object is the value that netmon
will use as the status of the object whenever the
particular object comes to the top of the status
polling queue. If the value is different than what is
currently in the OpenView Network Node Manager topology
database, then netmon will process the change just like
it does if the result came back from ping (e.g. netmon
may change the status in the topoDB and send out various
events).
A value of D_ifStatus_measureIt(0) indicates that netmon
should measure the status of the object (like it
normally does in the product) using ping or
other techniques rather than using a value provided by
a user.
During a set operation, the user supplied value will be
written immediately to an interface specific record in
netmon. The value will ripple through to the event
system and topology database immediately if the
<takeEffectWhen> MIB variable has a value of
immediately(1) or at netmon's next status poll if
<takeEffectWhen> has a value of atNextStatusPoll(0).
This object is intended to be used to provide a value
for interfaces only. For example, setting a value for
a node will fail.
The instance value for this object is the ovwDB ID
(topoObjID) which corresponds to an interface in the
topology DB. The ovwDB ID is used instead of ipAddress
because it works for level 2, ip, ipx and in general
any kind of object in the topology database.
REFINEMENT/CORRECTION:
Instead of actually specifying a value that netmon must
use for the node, we want to communicate which nodes
are inaccessible and allow netmon to determine the
exact status using it's router down analysis and
configuration.
So the status values above will be mapped per the
following table:
ifStatusMeasureIt(0)
Maps to 'Measure status with ping just like
normal operation'.
ifStatusNormal(2)
Maps to 'Up'.
ifStatusUnknown(1),
ifStatusMinor(3),
ifStatusCritical(4),
ifStatusUnmanaged(5),
ifStatusWarning(6),
ifStatusMajor(7),
ifStatusRestricted(8),
ifStatusTesting(9),
ifStatusDisabled(10)
All others values map to inaccessible. The
actual status value used will be determined
by netmon using its Router Down algorithm
and configuration."
