We just got SolarWinds NPM for our network. Our network is full of WAN dependencies, so I am setting them up, but I need some clarification. Before I create a bunch of unnecessary dependencies, I need to know what are already implicit? What Nodes and Interfaces will automatically become Unreachable without an explicitly defined dependency? It is a live network, so I do not have the freedom to experiment to derive my own answers.
If a node is set to Unreachable as the member of a Child group whose dependency has been triggered:
- Do the interfaces of that same node also become Unreachable?
- Do the dependencies for which that node is a Parent also trigger?
- Do the dependencies for which any interfaces of that node happen to be Parents also trigger?
Thanks,
Phil.
