I am making my server a child of my switch.
Having done this I'm still getting an alert on my Host Status page when I take my switch down,
The switch is in a "DOWN" state and the server is in an "UNKNOWN" state.
Shouldn't the server's alerts be suppressed so I only see the switch since it is the parent and it has the problem?
How do I make it so that if the switch does down, nothing gets reported on the server or any of the service that might be on the server?
Here is the cfg files for my server
hosts/testbranch-001.cfg
