Hello,
After discussing this in the forum, I now understand that the current behavior is working as designed.
I would like to suggest a feature enhancement.
Current behavior
Ports with Disable Polling enabled are still displayed in Ports → Oper Status = Down if their SNMP operational status is down.
Technically this is correct because the filter is based on ifOperStatus.
Why this could be useful
In many ISP deployments, there are a large number of interfaces that are intentionally excluded from monitoring by enabling Disable Polling (and often Ignore Alerts as well).
Examples include:
-
Spare switch ports
-
Unused OLT interfaces
-
Customer ports that are intentionally disabled
-
Reserved interfaces
These ports are expected to remain down and do not require operational attention.
As a result, the “Oper Status = Down” view can become cluttered with interfaces that administrators have already decided not to monitor, making it harder to identify interfaces that actually require investigation.
Suggested enhancement
It would be useful to have one of the following options:
-
Exclude Disable Polling ports from the default Oper Status = Down view.
-
Add an optional filter such as Exclude Disabled Polling Ports.
-
Add a global configuration option to hide Disable Polling ports from operational status lists.
This would preserve the current functionality while allowing administrators to focus on interfaces that are actively monitored.
Thank you for considering this suggestion.
