The problem I'm trying to solve is how to model a device which has multiple 
interfaces, each with an IP address, where the device is not manageable/managed 
via SNMP. In this case, the device is a firewall, each of whose interfaces are 
pingable.

For example:

        FWA     FWB     VRRP
Inside  192.168.42.12   192.168.43.13   192.168.42.14
Outside 192.168.42.28   192.168.42.29   192.168.42.30
Mgmt    192.168.41.181  192.168.41.185

One possibility I've tried is to model each of these as an independent IP 
(pingable) device, resulting in 8 separate devices which is unwieldy. It also 
introduces the complication of a Fanout repeater segment to connect the VRRP 
and FWA IPs to the router/switch. One glitch here is that it doesn't look like 
there's a way - even with naming the particular Fanouts so I can distinguish 
them and include them in a Global Collection search - to get them to show up in 
a GC.

Ideally, I'd like to model this as some sort of device or container which had 
the multiple IP addresses defined within it and be able to get alarms if any of 
the IP addresses went unreachable. Anyone have any great ideas?

Thanks,
Al
