Hi All, I am not sure if I should post this question over here or not. Is there a way to detect the link failure of an interface. As if we run routing and link shuts on an interface, down it doesn't bring the interface.. which is really a bad thing for real time networks. Is there some hardawre monitering tool which will help me in detecting the link failure. Thanks, NItin __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
