<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: 0.5in;">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: 0.5in;">I created the
following bb-hosts
entries:<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;">RESULT: If I
disconnect
all switches, all turn RED and all alert<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;">
If one goes down it shows RED and alerts<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">SECOND try using ‘route’”<o:p></o:p></p>

I have route: working fine for me in my network. You need to use the
