<div dir="ltr">Now, I know this can be done but here is the question.
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Say our core switch goes down, I obviously don't want to be alerted about every single device that has subsequently gone down as well. I know since the core is down, everything is down. How do I setup these types of relationships so alerting is dependent
other another object being up.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I would get alerts because we are using a SMS gateway and it would be able to send SMS messages to our cellphones. <br clear="all">
