Alerting

[Charles Rice]

you need to put in the config files of the nodes connected to the switch that the switch is a parent device. I do not have the syntax in front of me, but I think it is just
    parent        <device name>

Now, I know this can be done but here is the question.

Say our core switch goes down, I obviously don't want to be alerted about every single device that has subsequently gone down as well.  I know since the core is down, everything is down.  How do I setup these types of relationships so alerting is dependent other another object being up.

I would get alerts because we are using a SMS gateway and it would be able to send SMS messages to our cellphones.


Thanks
