We are running NetView V5 on AIX 4.2

I am having quite a time getting NetView to discover nodes
particularily switches on ATM circuits coming off the cisco router.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

The first problem:
   Several cisco 5509/5000 switches in our network were not discovered.
   I tried ping'g the switches and doing demand polls on the router
   which still didn't discover them. I left them overnight to see if
   NetView would come around, but they still no discovery!

Second problem:
   I deleted the router from all submaps
   cleaned up the database ala J. Beakley(8/10/95)
   ovstop netmon
   ovmapcount -uv
   ovtopofix -a
   ovstop ovtopmd
   ovtopofix -Cv
   nv6000

   ovtopodump | grep router
       showed no occurances , as did "locate"

   The "router" is in the seed file!

   It doesn't show up on the IPmap after several hours of ping'g
   the router and doing demand polls on nearby routers.
   netmon.trace shows "many" snmp successful queries to the router
   but it remains undiscovered.

   I am at a loss as to what to try next...any hints?
