<div class=Section1>
<p class=MsoNormal>I have been trying to setup dependencies:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I want to have only one alert from the 116 switch if all 3
go down – simulation of losing a router/link:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I don’t want alerts from the 117 and 118 switches
unless they go down independently.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>FIRST try using ‘depends’:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='text-indent:.5in'>I have three old Linksys switches
setup on a smaller switch attached to the network.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='text-indent:.5in'>I created the following bb-hosts
entries:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in;text-indent:.5in'>128.170.41.116
Linksys-116
# conn<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in;text-indent:.5in'>128.170.41.117
Linksys-117
# depends=(conn:Linksys-116/conn)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in;text-indent:.5in'>128.170.41.118
Linksys-118
# depends=(conn:Linksys-116/conn)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='text-indent:.5in'><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='text-indent:.5in'>RESULT: If I disconnect
all switches, all turn RED and all alert<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='text-indent:.5in'>
If one goes down it shows RED and alerts<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='text-indent:.5in'><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>SECOND try using ‘route’”<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in;text-indent:.5in'>128.170.41.116

# conn<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in;text-indent:.5in'>128.170.41.117
Linksys-117
# route:128.170.41.116<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in;text-indent:.5in'>128.170.41.118

<p class=MsoNormal style='text-indent:.5in'><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='text-indent:.5in'>RESULT: Same as depends, no difference<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
