I think I figured out a work around which can double as a latency/packet loss alert/NCM auto switchover. As long as Orion can see the WAN Link IP, I can set that up as an ICMP only node and set thresholds for alerting, and timers for NCM.

The IP's in question are not part of the routing table, they are only the PtP link IP's(No loopbacks were used to source OSPF). We have several locations that have backup circuits, and the OSPF alert is to let us know when a link goes down, and since they are all Ethernet, unless the ISP switch/router drops, that…

In order to monitor you need the agent, but, to install the agent you need shell access, namely root. Only way to get that is via Cisco TAC.

Thats what I thought, using syslog, drawback of that, IOS has very little control over what can be sent to syslog, and having hundreds of devices sending syslog traps would be a nightmare. On ASA devices, syslog traps can be specific, down to a single code if needed, works very well, but IOS doesn't have that ability, at…
