Description of problem: The Network link up/link down status are not reported by the SNMP agent.The link up/link down events are sent from the disman agent which is not compiled into the default SNMP agent. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): net-snmp-5.1.2-11.EL4.7 How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1.Install RHEL4-U4(kernel-2.6.9-42) 2.Generate Link Up/Down events 3. Actual results: Link Up/Down SNMP traps are not sent by the SNMP agent. Expected results: Link Up/Down SNMP traps should be sent by the SNMP agent. Additional info:
Disman event mib is by default compiled in net-snmp-5.3.1.0-2(RHEL5 Beta1).
Pinged Sammy (TAM) on this issue -- looks like a bug to me rather than a feature. Reason: link up/down events not sent. The mechanism happens to be "disman" which is not compiled into net-snmp by default but regardless, these important events should be sent upstream by the snmp agent.
Request RedHat to confirm whether this issue will be fixed in RHEL4-U5.
Larry/Sammy, Appretiate a response to Comment #3.
Development Management has reviewed and declined this request. You may appeal this decision by reopening this request.
I am unable to reopen this issue. Red Hat, please reopen this issue for me. For Enterprise Systems Management solutions based on SNMP, this feature is important. We want to have this feature in RHEL 4.5. We do not understand why RH disabled this in the first place. Is there an alternative way to establish cable-pulls via SNMP?
Dell has requested to reopen this case for consideratin into 4.5. ----------------------------- Raghavendra_Biligiri wrote: Sammy, I was not able to reopen this issue.This issue is important for Dell.

Per commnets from RH engineering we need to treat this as a feature, let us discuss in the weekly call : ------------------------------------- I've already discussed this outside of the bugzilla. This is feature request and would require patching net-snmp to newer version of disman MIB. I would rather NOT do this.
