Agreed... but he said he had:

spectrum --> router --> switch

So in theory if he had "spectrum-->router" resolved, why then did it look like an isolated set of models regarding Fault Iso?

If  you have two devices connected to each other but not to any other devices, 
and Spectrum loses contact to both of them, they will both (correctly) go into 
a supressed state.

The reason for this is that Spectrum's fault isolation looks at the condition 
of all the neighbours of a device it loses contact with to determine whether 
that device is the root cause. In this instance spectrum will see that that ALL 
(in this case one) devices connected are down, this causes the device's alarm 
to be supressed as it can't be the root cause as it is 'surrounded' by devices 
that are down. I hope my hurried explanation makes sense :-)

Subject: [spectrum] Root cause alarm

Hi,

we had router connected to a switch, both are monitored in Spectrum. Actually 
both the devices are down at same time due to power failure.
But we didn't get any alerts in spectrum for both the devices, when i checked 
the events of the router it says alarm is suppressed due to upstream device is 
down and when i checked in switch it says alarm is suppressed due to upstream 
device is down.

But actual connection is spectrum --> router --> switch.

Actually, i should get alert on router and the switch alert should be 
suppressed.

Did any one came across this situation. how do we over come this.

Regards,
Kavi
