dns problem

[smax]

i have a router (for example router1), it has 5 interfaces. I have a correct DNS settings (it means name router1 is resolved to all 5 interfaces addresses and all these five addresses are correctly resolved to name "router1").
my problem is that i can connect (snmp-get, ping , telnet) only to one router interface, because i have a firewall in my network (between managemnet station and router1). so, i've change dns settings to serve only one ip address , that i can connect from hpov station.
but my sniffer session says that nnm still tries to connect to other 4 addresses.
I've made a reinitialization of OV databases - still the same - NNM tries to connect to unreachable addresses even if there is no information in dns about them. i have killed nscd process and even killed dns (named) process - still my NNM tries to connect to those unreachable addresses (for example during snmp-walking). after rebooting - the same problem. any ideas?
my OS: solaris 8 with NNM 6.

Hi,

You could check
/etc/defaultrouter
/etc/rc2.d/S999Routes
if any other routes are being added.

Hope it helps.

With SNMP on a router (multiple NIC interfaces) I generally point the snmp gets at 1 interface. Stats from the rest of the interfaces appear as offsets from that interface.

So
A.B.C.D.1 might be fe0.
A.B.C.D.2 might be fe1.
A.B.C.D.13 might be hssi1
A.B.C.D.14 might be serial4

AFAIK, you can grab _all_ of the statistics from a device through 1 interface.

Think you are probably in the wrong group. The Network Management/Openview Network Node Manager at http://forums.itrc.hp.com/cm/CategoryHome/1,,165,00.html
would be more appropriate.

Anyway, NNM has to be finding out about the other addresses either from its database or via SMNP on the good IP address. (I assume nslookup only shows the one address?)

Try deleting the router from all maps. Then close OpenView, and run
ovtopofix -a from a command prompt. You have to turn something else off first and I have forgotten what but it will tell you. Then restart whatever you turned off then start openview and let it find the router again. You can help it by creating the object and giving it the good IP address or just let it cook for a while. If it still tries to get to the bad addresses then best post in the correct group.
