Re: wepstatus

Correct I understand that it reads from
a cache file.  We have epcheck_interval at 3600 seconds (1 hour).
  The problem is that I can verify that a endpoint is alive and wepstatus
shows connected.  some time later under 1 hour I can run the wepstatus
command again and the same device will now show unreachable.  And
if I do a wep eplabel status 1 it shows aliev again.  I am trying
to understand why it always reverts back to unavailable.   we also
have the diag_interval ont he end point itself set to check every 2600
seconds.

Hi Christopher, 

The wepstatus command reads from the gateways cache. In other words its
gives the last known status of the endpoint as at the last time the gateway
checked per the interval configured for the checks. The following will
give you the current status, and force the gateways to refresh it's knowledge
of the endpoint's status: 
wep endpoint_label status 1 

Hope that helps, 
Napo

Can someone give a more indepth detail about wepstatus command and function.
 I understand what its purpose is, and what it does.  What I
am looking for is HOW it does waht it does.  From things I have to
see I have to beleive that wepstatus is using some cache file which it
calls from.  This specifically when you issue a wepstatus -a.  

Our problem:  I issue a wepstatus -a and pull out all unreachable
entries.   I then do a wep endpoint  status on those in
the unreachable area, and a fair amoutn of them come back alive.  Thus
changing them from unrechable to connected.   15 minutes later if
I rerun the wepstatus -a command again the same devices that were alive
are back to unreachable.   

Is there some documentation about what wepstatus is actually doing when
it is checking?    we have increased epcheck_sess_timeout to
90 seconds and it still seems to be occuring. 

Thank you 
Chris Petrina
