I have 2 devices that are constantly bouncing (in NMP) but are always up, it appears the alerts are false. The devices are Multitech FaxFinder fax servers. They run busybox linux. There is no provision for SNMP and so I set them up for ICMP poling only. This works but they show down in NPM and I get the alert for them. I check to see if its alive from the sserver where NMP is running and there isn't a problem. I have tried using the DNS name to poll it via ICMP and I thought that was the issue so I deleted the device and re added it with the IP address. I get the same results.
has anyone had a similar problem with False alerts?
