Option C is an interesting one too - if the router is set up as a parent in a dependency, that could be causing the 'down' status to propagate. But B and D seem more likely in this case.

Haha, reminds me of the time our network team 'fixed' a 'down' router by unplugging it and plugging it back in. Gotta love those easy solutions!

I'm not sure about ICMP or SNMP, but I think A) agent connection status could also be a cause.

I was thinking the same thing! Blocking ICMP and SNMP are the classic ways to make a healthy network device look 'down' to the monitoring system.

Options B and D sound like the most likely culprits here. If the monitoring engine can't ping the router or access its SNMP data, that would definitely explain the 'down' status.

I agree with Refugia, but I also think D) SNMP could be blocked.
