Re: Alert Configuration Error, please explain.



Thanks Mr. Windell,

I'm glad you added what you did, I still wish I understood what an

the terminology "array-level network Internal" and an "array-level network External"
means.

I could follow the directions described in the error to remove that error
but I would not understand why. Assuming no cabling error (like the scenerio I imagined)
I don't see how the routing is getting messed up it must be the routing taking place
in the gateway, sounds like sloppy work or that the gateway makes some assumptions
that are incorrect which I think is probably the case.

I sure hate seeing multiple A Records for the same data but all I can do is
keep suggesting it might be nice if we stuck to a best practice and only
used multi A's when something won't work the usual way. Right or wrong
I just think it sucks and is sloppy.

What if one of those ports goes to another switch which already has a
port taken up by an uplink that eventually makes it's way back to the "trusted" interface on the gateway
appliance(172.17.10.0/24)?

Then you get exactly the error you are getting. The external nic sees broadcasts from IP#s that are "not supposed to be there".
The switches could be "VLANed" to separate the ports,...but it is better to just not make such a mess to begin with.

these are typical A records for zone....

computer1from2001 172.17.10.103
computer2from2004 172.17.10.103
computer3from2007 172.17.10.103
computer3from2007butwewanttoaccessitwithanalias 172.17.10.103

There should only be *one* A Record per IP#. The rest are supposed to be CNAME (Alias) records that simply point to the A Record
(If the line wrap doesn't screw it up)

computer1from2001 A Record 172.17.10.103
computer2from2004 CNAME computer1from2001.domain.tld
computer3from2007 CNAME computer1from2001.domain.tld
computer3from2007 CNAME computer1from2001.domain.tld
butwewanttoaccessitwithanalias CNAME computer1from2001.domain.tld

A more realistic example, for a machine with both a website and a mail service on it and list of possible aliases you might use
for it.

AD Zone: company.org

server1 A Record 192.168.14.23
