That is funny, one of our Ascend GRF units ignores SNMP completely (even to itself). (Not desired behavior).
The GRF has a highly tweakable TCP/IP stack. For example, by default the router will only respond to 10 ICMP packets/second (but that number can be changed in grinchd.conf, I think). The router can be passing packets normally, and if someone is ping flooding an interface on the router, your own (or your customer's) ping to the router can fail miserably. This is not really a router problem. There are some very good Netstar engineers in Minneapolis (if they haven't all frozen to death). Seek one of them out. -peter
