Nagios ifoperstatus check

Hi All,

I was wondering if you could help me shed some light on this Nagios check.

We have a linux server connected to an adsl modem. Nagios checks the ppp interface via “ifoperstatus” .
This check alarms quite a lot with the Warning:

“Interface ppp11 (index 27) is administratively down.”

However, this interface has not been shut on the server ie. (ifdown ppp11) .
I’m not sure how too clear this alarm, ifup ppp11 doesnt seem to do the trick.
The line definately is up.

Any thoughts?

you could try using a standard check_snmp… with snmpwalk look for the right oid and use that…
