Table 1. Events for IP endpoint

Event	Description
Down	Down indicates that an IP endpoint is not responding to ICMP polls and that there is no physical failure in the system or any other related network component to explain why. The value of the IPStatus attribute is not OK or UNKNOWN, and the value of both the AdminStatus and OperStatus attributes for the interface is UP. The problem is most likely at the IP protocol level. For example, the IP protocol on a router interface might be disabled but the physical interface is still up.
Unresponsive	Unresponsive indicates that an IP endpoint is not responding to ICMP polls. Similar to Down, the value of the IPStatus attribute is not OK or UNKNOWN.
DuplicateIP	Duplicate indicates that the discovery process discovered two systems having the same (overlapping) IP address. When this event occurs, IP Availability Manager proceeds as follows: Classifies the IP address as a DuplicateIP. Suspends IP-related analysis for the address. Generates a Duplicate notification. The VMware Smart Assurance IP Management Suite Discovery Guide provides information about correcting Duplicate notifications.
