I have just started up a new implementation of Netview 5.1 on AIX 4.3.
The site is firewalled by a Cisco PIX.  Upon autodiscovery Netview
found the PIX, but is came up as isRouter=false, and isIPRouter=false.
Apparently, because of this, Netview is not looking any further for any
routes beyond the PIX.  The PIX is routing fine,  I can ping and telnet
through it, the inside interface of the PIX is my default gateway on my
Netview station.  Can anybody tell me what parameter Netview is looking
at to determine router=false, and how can I tell Netview that the PIX is
in fact a router, and that I want to manage the external networks?

Thanks.
