Verify Static Connection Status
Proxy Agents maintain continuous contact with their associated managed nodes
to transfer current data to the Network Management System (NMS). Lack of data
or incorrect data can indicate that a connection problem exists.
The NMS provides two methods to verify connection status: Icon states and a
Managed Node Lists screen.
Icon States Connection icons provide the current connection status for a managed node. You
can determine the connection status of a managed node by viewing managed
node icons on one of the three network submaps. See
Table 2 on page 50 for
details.
Data Responses The number of times a managed node responds to a data
request from a Proxy Agent.
