Hello Vladimir,
I was told by an "Netview specialist", that when NetView discovers an interface
with a so called auto
dialer configuration on it (especially on cisco routers it seems possible to
configure a virtual
interface over other interfaces to be used as a kind of dialing interfaces).
But back to your mail - thanks, it seems ok, that these interfaces are
administratively down - this
means they cannot be configured completely by netmon, right?
Your information has helped a lot for understanding!
Thanks a lot
Peter
