5936.0. "Reachability problem" by CX3PT2::LUVYA::R_WILLIAMS () Wed Apr 06 1994 13:21

    Hi,
    
    I'm not real versant with networking problems, but I have received the
    following DSNlink request from a customer.  Any help on this would be
    appreciated.
    
    Thanks,

    ========================================================================
    
    MCC version 1.3 on VMS platform.
    VAX has UCX with TCP/IP.
    
    I am using the mcc test directive to check reachability to SNMP entities.
    Most times that an ICMP redirect message is received back from a router
    the test fails. If I ping the same entity from UCX I get 1 line stating
    that a re-direct was received and then a message that the entity is
    alive.
    
    Is there anything that can be done within mcc so that it doesn't fail
    when a redirect is returned.
    
    This problem seems to be based on the number of hops between MCC and
    SNMP.  The further away, the more apt the failure.
