Smart Element Manager
The “Status” column (example below) reports the status of each SNMP Agent being monitored. The
Status values of Alive, No Response and Unknown are determined by continuously polling (5 - 120
seconds, default 20) the installed agents using simple SNMP Get requests. This feature helps to
determine the proper setup of the user's IP Network by testing if an SNMP packet is able to reach as
well as be returned from a SNMP Agent. Status values should be interpreted as follows:
™ Alive - SNMP Agent is online and responding correctly to SNMP queries.
™ No Response - SNMP Agent is offline most likely to one of the following reasons: Unit is
powered off, incorrect IP address, network latency or timeouts, IP Network router/fire wall
problems, incorrect community name, IP address of CanogaView server not entered into DMM's
Host table.
™ Unknown - the application has not yet attempted to query the device. This should only be a
temporary condition.
