The SM_LOGICALCONNECTIONDOWN environment variable is set to DISABLED by adding the following definition to the runcmd_env.sh file:

SM_LOGICALCONNECTIONDOWN=DISABLED

The runcmd_env.sh file in the IP Manager installation area will automatically set the SM_LOGICALCONNECTIONDOWN environment variable, along with any other environment variables in the file, for each application or utility that is started from the installation area.

Here are two reasons for setting the SM_LOGICALCONNECTIONDOWN environment variable to DISABLED:

  • The evaluation of Interface::LogicalConnectionDown problems requires a considerable amount of CPU time.

  • The analysis of IPSec tunnels requires the analysis of individual network connections at the subinterface level.

    To set the SM_LOGICALCONNECTIONDOWN environment variable to DISABLED:

    1. Go to the BASEDIR/smarts/bin directory in the IP Manager installation area and type the following command to open the runcmd_env.sh file:

                           sm_edit conf/runcmd_env.sh
                        
    2. Add the following definition to the file:

      SM_LOGICALCONNECTIONDOWN=DISABLED
      
    3. Save and close the file.

      The modified version of the runcmd_env.sh file is saved to the BASEDIR/smarts/local/conf directory.
