What about SONET/SDH interfaces that display down/up?

The interface can be admin down, but if its still receiving a
SONET/SDH signal from the other side then line proto will be up -
nothing necessarily wrong with that. :-)

In reply to Skeeves original email, is there any reason you couldn't
script something like this? At least give a device a once over and
produce a summary report of "problems for this device" after which the
tech can then target only devices that have issues that need
attention. Otherwise you find yourself wasting time looking at a bunch
of boxes that dont need to be looked at when you could be doing
something more productive.

Or better yet, syslog and SNMP traps collectors and some scripts that
produce a dashboard highlighting any issues detected. :-)

Scripts, scripts, scripts everywhere. :-)
